Dana White unfazed by Jon Jones’ latest retirement flip flop after UFC 327

Dana White wasn’t moved at all by Jon Jones’ latest decision to retire – and then come out of retirement moments later.

During the week, Jones was seen in a video for Red Corner MMA telling media that he had ‘hung up his gloves’, and that he was now focusing on business. That retirement lasted minutes as he soon confirmed that he is not actually done with fighting just yet.

And after appearing cageside at UFC 327, he was interviewed on Paramount and declared that he was unsure about his fighting future. None of this appeared to interest promotional boss White, who already refused to give the sport’s greatest ever fighter a spot on the UFC White House card.

Dana White has muted reaction to Jon Jones’ retirement flip flop

Jon Jones made his UFC debut in August of 2008, and Dana White has been dealing with his antics ever since. The New Yorker has won gold at heavyweight and light-heavyweight on a run that has earned him the crown of MMA’s greatest ever fighter.

But he is also a wildly controversial figure, with arrests, failed drug tests and cancelled fights in his chequered past. So when White heard that he had once again retired and come out of retirement this week, it barely registered on the UFC bosses’ radar.
