Dana White has once more gone all out on Jon Jones. Jones wanted to be a part of the June 14 White House card, but after his name was not on the bout list, “Bones” alleged that he was lowballed by the UFC brass.
He also claimed that he was in negotiations to fight at the White House, and also received stem cell treatment for his hip arthritis, and was going to start training camp. However, a lowball offer ruined his plan and stopped him from competing.
He asked the UFC to release him if they think he’s done.
Most recently, “Bones” teased retirement but also stated that anything can happen in the future. But for now, his focus is on preparing his protégé, Gable Steveson, for his debut during International Fight Week.
Dana White has previously stated that Jon Jones’ name was never in the mix regarding the White House card.
White believes Jones is done fighting, and hip arthritis has put the final nail in the coffin and forced him to hang up the gloves.

In another recent interview with WFAN Sports Radio, White stated that about the White House card, he asked the matchmakers to present every possible matchup on the table after reaching out to the fighters, and Jones fighting on June 14 was never a possibility. He added:
Jon Jones is completely unreliable. As much as Jon talks, Jon was not a possibility on the White House card.”
