Jon Jones and Dana White. Photo via Getty Images The Ariel Helwani Show highlighted some of the real answers that UFC boss Dana White has provided fans regarding the future course of action within the heavyweight division of the promotion. Helwani, in his recent episode, condemned the attitude being displayed by the current heavyweight champion, Jon Jones , regarding the highly anticipated title unification bout . In one of the segments of the episode, it was also revealed that Bones had previously accepted a fight against the interim champion but later backed out for reasons that have not been disclosed publicly yet. Ariel Helwani analyses the recent comments by the UFC boss Dana White on the title unification bout, confirms further revelations to come on the issue Jon Jones' last bout within the Octagon was against Stipe Miocic, where the fighter retained his heavyweight championship belt. The only loss in his professional career came from his fight against Matt Hamill, and with a pro-MMA record of 28-1-0, the fighter has established himself as one of the toughest heavyweight contenders of all time. However, in recent times, Jones' ignorance to leave a positive sign upon his return to the Octagon against the longest reigning interim champion Tom Aspinall has stirred controversies and criticism towards the fighter. While, for the longest time, MMA fans had believed that the Bones had been ducking Aspinall, a recent episode of the Ariel Helwani Show, it has not always been the same. According to Helwani, 'Dana White said Jon Jones was offered the deal and accepted the deal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo The problem is he didn't tell you the whole story.'

"I'm TIRED of It!" - Ariel Helwani on Jon Jones 'Disrespecting' UFC Title, Tom Aspinall Fight Update Helwani, through his show, reflected on Dana White's recent comments and the change in the statement made by the UFC boss. While the promotion guaranteed a fight between Jones and Aspinall, Dana's comment in his latest press appearance tells a different story. The UFC boss is seen kind of giving up on the entire issue, 'If Jon doesn't want to fight. We can try to make him fight. Throw things at him that inspire him to fight. But we will figure it out.' Also read: 'It will explode' - Ilia Topuria makes a chilling statement ahead of lightweight title run against Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 Jon had recently expressed his interest in fighting the former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, post the rumors of the latter's return to the Octagon. With the recent developments, the chances of Jon Jones facing Tom Aspinall for the title unification bout has got slimmer and there are no chances of fruition.

Trump attends UFC fight in New Jersey, takes break from politics, Musk feud
President Donald Trump walked out to a thunderous standing ovation just ahead of the start of the UFC pay-per-view card at the Prudential Centre on Saturday night, putting his public feud with tech billionaire Elon Musk on hold to instead watch the fierce battles inside the cage. Trump was accompanied by UFC President Dana White and the pair headed to their cageside seats to Kid Rock's American Bad Ass. Trump and White did the same for UFC's card last November at Madison Square Garden, only then they were joined by Musk. Trump shook hands with fans and supporters a heavyweight lineup that included retired boxing champion Mike Tyson on his way to the cage. Trump was joined by his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, along with son Eric Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump shook hands with the UFC broadcast team that included Joe Rogan. Rogan hosted Trump on his podcast for hours in the final stages of the campaign last year. UFC fans went wild for Trump and held mobile devices in their outstretched arms to snap pictures of him. Trump arrived in time for the start of a card set to include two championship fights. Julianna Pea and Merab Dvalishvili were scheduled to each defend their 135-pound championships. UFC fighter Kevin Holland won the first fight with Trump in the building, scaled the cage and briefly chatted with the President before his post-fight interview.
