"Was ready, willing and physically able to step in. I was willing to take substantially less than the Aspinall ask but they wouldn't budge one dollar over $15m. I felt like our fight was worth more."
"How many f--ing times I gotta say this? He was never fighting on the White House card... There was no way in hell I was putting him on that card, no matter what the money was."
Jon Jones has expressed frustration over not being included in the UFC White House card, despite his willingness to fight for less money. Dana White firmly stated that Jones was never part of the plan for the event, emphasizing that there was no possibility of including him regardless of the financial offer. Jones, who has been inactive for over a year, attempted to secure a fight against Alex Pereira but felt the UFC's offer of $15 million was insufficient. White's comments reaffirmed his stance on Jones' exclusion from the card.
