The UFC head honcho has time and time again asserted that ‘Bones’ is the best fighter to have ever stepped foot inside the Octagon. However, the MMA community thinks otherwise,͏ as the constant ͏praise for Jones ͏despite his ͏laggard behavior ͏h͏as caught many by ͏surprise. The heavyweight champion has been holding up the division but his confession about fighting at Madison Square Garden at New York City at UFC 309 has raised some excitement but how much of truth is in this statement?

Dana White blasts media over criticism of Jon Jones’s praise

Dana White was accused of glazing Jon Jones in one of his most recent escapades. How? Well, ESPN posted a minute video of White securing seats for 30 kids from a Youth charity. Well, despite his best efforts to do for the world, the MMA community called him out for Jon Jones in the comments. At this point, it was enough for the UFC CEO to take it alone, in retaliation, Dana White tagged Jon Jones in the comment section. This caused a flurry of reaction from the GEN Z people who again called the UFC head honcho for ‘Glazing’ Jones.

Dana White might not have anticipated that a small comment could have such a significant impact on him. At the ‘Dana White Press Conference,’ the media relentlessly questioned the UFC CEO. A reporter asked, “Is Jon Jones the pound-4-pound goat?” In response to this question, White in a sarcastic tone said, “He is pound for pound best fighter and he is the goat and you all know this.”

He further added, “Numbers don’t lie. Are you guys that fu**ing stupid? You can’t be that fu**ing stupid to not think Jon Jones is the best fighter in the world”
