US EditionJon Jones Requests UFC Release, Disputes Dana White's Stance on Health, White House Negotiations
Jon Jones disputes UFC contract offers and health concerns after being excluded from the June 14 White House card, prompting his request for release from the promotion.
- After the promotion announced the card Saturday without Jon Jones, a public feud escalated Monday with Jones accusing UFC of lowballing and seeking release.
- Having sought the White House event for months, Jones, who retired in 2025, reversed course to pursue it after White rejected his negotiations.
- Last month a video surfaced showing Jones acknowledging left hip arthritis and hip replacement advice, while Jones wrote Monday, 'Yes, I have arthritis in my hip and it's painful, but that doesn't mean I can't fight.'
- Dana White, UFC CEO, said he took the circulated video as evidence that Jones should never fight again, despite Jones' health disclosures last month.
- With his November 2024 heavyweight title defense still his most recent fight, the dispute, health revelations and Jones' mention of seeking release combine to cloud his future with the UFC.
