The marriage between Jon Jones The UFC was beneficial for both parties, but today, the relationship is hanging by a thread. Even more so now, with Netflix entering the combat sports scene, promoting events in partnership with 'Most Valuable Promotions', a company of... Jake Paul, who is a declared enemy of Dana White. In fact, 'Bones' attended the first MMA show broadcast by the streaming giant, held last Saturday (16), in California (USA), and was delighted with what he saw.

So much so that Jones, when talking to his press advisor, not only compared the event promotion done by the YouTuber's company to that of the UFC, but also classified it as superior. It is quite true that, currently, the largest MMA organization in the world is basing itself on entertainment to arrange fights, promote cards and determine which athlete will compete for the belt, something that MVP has always prioritized.

Furthermore, the meticulous attention the company paid to the show, from the technical aspects to the professionals' entrance into the cage, caught 'Bones' attention. On the other hand, in the UFC, the athletes' journey to the octagon, unlike what happened in Pride, is now neglected in MVP and other leagues. Therefore, Jones, who recently asked to leave the company, is excited about the growth of Jake's company, as it represents fresh blood in combat sports and suggests that it has everything it needs to challenge the Ultimate.

“I thought the MVP promotion was absolutely incredible. I think it was even better than the UFC. I’ve never been to an event like that, with smoke machines and televisions everywhere, excellent fighters,” said the MMA legend.
