Just a couple weeks ago it sounded like Dana White might be offering Jon Jones an olive branch. Or at the very least, like he was prepared to find a functional middle ground to get the long-time UFC light heavyweight champion back in the Octagon in the not-too-distant future.
“Jon Jones and I do not agree on something right now. We’re having a disagreement, but Jon Jones is a partner in this business,” White told Eddie Hearn and Tony Bellew on their Talk the Talk podcast.
Unfortunately, if White was hoping that his words would be the entry point to smoothing things over between he and ‘Bones,’ that doesn’t appear to be the case.
