Jon Jones has expressed disappointment in Dana White following recent claims after the UFC Freedom 250 announcement.<\/p>\n
During Saturday\u2019s UFC 326 broadcast, the card for Freedom 250 was revealed. The headliner will be an undisputed lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje. An interim UFC heavyweight title bout between Alex Pereira and Ciryl Gane will serve as the co-headliner for the White House event.<\/p>\n
Fans noticed that Jones was absent from the card, and White addressed it during the UFC 326 post-fight presser. The UFC boss claimed \u201cBones\u201d was never considered for Freedom 250.<\/p>\n
Jones hopped on his X account to respond to White in a series of deleted tweets, and he is not happy about what White said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo all of this negotiating was complete bullsh*t, is that what you want me to agree to publicly? Man, how f*cking painful,\u201d Jones wrote. \u201cLaying in my bed, wrapping my head around this perception.\u201d<\/p>\n
White told reporters that he\u2019s under the belief that Jones needs a hip replacement and he\u2019s likely done with prizefighting (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cNever, ever, ever \u2013 which I told you guys 100,000 times \u2013 was Jon Jones ever even remotely in my mind to fight at the White House,\u201d White told MMA Junkie and other reporters backstage after UFC 326. \u201c\u2026 Jon Jones retired because of his hips. He\u2019s got arthritis in his hips. Apparently, doctors say he should have hip replacements.\u201d<\/p>\n Later on in the press conference, White made another claim that he informed Jones\u2019 lawyer that a spot on the Freedom 250 card was never on the table.<\/p>\n
