The greatest fighter in MMA history, Jon Jones, is not immune to disappointment and received the worst possible news last Saturday (7). During the broadcast of UFC 326, the former light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) champion found out that he was left out of UFC Casa Branca , a special event scheduled to take place on June 14 in Washington (USA). Without wasting time, the veteran let out all his frustration, turning to a specific character.
On his official 'X' account, Jones admitted that he was not only disappointed, but also angry, and he didn't forgive Dana White. In fact, the American was so upset in his immediate reaction that he even deleted some of the messages. It's no secret that 'Bones', who hasn't fought since 2024, described UFC White House as his dream event because he's a fan of Donald Trump, the President of the United States.

The athlete also expressed a desire to have Alex Poatan as an opponent and recently reported that he was in negotiations with the UFC to fight on the show. However, Dana denied this and stressed that he never considered the possibility of Jones headlining the highly anticipated event. Subsequently, the veteran confirmed that the conversation with the company's top management was real and, frustrated, expressed doubt about his future in MMA.
“I will be the scapegoat. If I were to publicly agree that our negotiations were a lie, we have a problem. If I proved him wrong, would I be wrong? Or would I be a bigger man by remaining silent? So, this whole negotiation was a complete farce, is that what you want me to publicly agree to? Make sense of it ,” wrote the MMA legend.
“And then the other half of me is like, ‘Is this really happening?’ What a fucking pain! Lying in my bed, trying to process it. All I can think about is how fucking painful this is. I got fired from the UFC?! I’m a fucking brother, but don’t lie about me. Angry, but not lost. Stupid, shitty, easy day. I can’t even run ,” he concluded.
Dana White vs. Jon Jones
Despite always praising Jon Jones and acknowledging his achievements in MMA, Dana White has never actually seemed enthusiastic about having him at UFC White House . In fact, whenever questioned about it, the UFC president always made a point of mentioning that it would be a risk to put the veteran in a prominent position, given that Jones had let the company down on more than one occasion over the years.
