Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions’ doors are open to Jon
Jones.
Jones is currently having a bitter falling out with the
UFC over a White House card snub. Amidst Jones publicly calling
for his UFC release, Paul welcomes “Bones” to MVP. “The Problem
Child” promises to pay Jones what he deserves.
The Allure of a Proper Payday
“100%. Jon, you’re always welcome to come over to MVP,” Paul told
Netflix. “We’ll get it popping, and we’ll get you paid what you
deserve.”
Jones kept the UFC heavyweight division hanging for over a year,
while Dana White promised that he would fight interim champion
Tom
Aspinall. However, Jones unceremoniously retired in June 2025
without fighting Aspinall. Plans for the White House card were
announced weeks following Jones’ retirement. The former
two-division champion immediately returned to the drug testing pool
and has since been rallying for a spot on the
UFC White House card.
While White always sounded skeptical regarding Jones at the White
House, it was never out of the conversation. When the card was
finally announced last weekend, Jones wasn’t a part of it. While
White said Jones was never even considered, “Bones” went on a rant,
hinting that he was in negotiations with the UFC. Jones has
publicly asked for his release from the UFC.
