Dana White is definitely far from being a beloved figure among the Ultimate roster, even when it comes to the most dominant athletes in the organization's history. Similar to Anderson Silva , Jon Jones came forward this Tuesday (28) to talk about the UFC CEO in an interview on the 'ALF Global' podcast. And he didn't have many positive things to say about the bald man.
When asked about his relationship with White, Jones didn't mince words. And despite expressing gratitude for the changes that working at the UFC brought to his personal life, he made his feelings towards the fight promoter clear.

Despite officially announcing his retirement from MMA last year, Bones showed interest in returning to competition as soon as he learned about the UFC Casa Branca event . The former champion spoke on several occasions about his desire to face Alex Poatan , a sentiment reciprocated by the Brazilian.
However, despite numerous pleas, Dana White remained adamant in his decision to leave Jon out of the event. According to him, the former fighter wouldn't be reliable enough to fill such an important spot. It's worth noting that the two spent months negotiating a fight with Tom Aspinall , which never materialized.
