Fast Forward To The Present, And The Private Exchanges Between UFC CEO Dana White And Former Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta Have Come To Light, Where White stated, "What’s Up With Jones? Did He Straighten Up, Or Is He Still Being A Scumbag?"

Fertitta Replied, "Still A Douche, But We’re Inching Closer. Haven't Moved On Money, But Sent The Letter With An Ultimatum." White's Frustration Was Evident When He Said, "Awesome. FK That Punk, Lorenzo. He Needs To Know We Don't Need Him, Or He Will FK Us Over More Than He Already Does."

The Aftermath
