“He Does Make It Hard for People to Like Him”- Dana White Shares His Thoughts on Jon Jones UFC Career

Jon Jones has been out of action since his win over Dominick Reyes in February 2020. Shortly after the win, Jones vacated the light heavyweight belt and stated that he would be going up a weight class. However, issues with the UFC and issues in his personal life have meant that Jones has been out of action for the better part of two years now. 

When asked if Jones would need a warm-up fight or could be given a title shot right away, White replied, “I have no idea. But yeah, he would be a guy that you could throw right in there. I mean, many people believe he is the GOAT man, that he is the best. And realistically, when you look at him, he is undefeated. The guy is undefeated, never lost a fight. He does make it hard for people to like him. There’s people who love him and there’s people who hate him. But what you can’t deny, is the guy has never lost a fight.”

In a recent interview, Jones revealed that he had two dates in mind. ‘Bones’ either wanted a fight in April at Madison Square Garden, or a fight during international fight week in July. The former champion also stated that he would wait to see who win the fight in January before taking a final decision on when he wants to compete. 

However, for the fight to be finalized, Jones would have to sort out the legal troubles that he is facing at the moment. In all likelihood, he will not have a fight contract ready before all of his legal troubles are taken care of.
