Dana just can't quit Jon Jones

[Poirierfan]

It's really simple. Jon Jones is blackmailing Dana // the UFC.

IMO Jon's absence from fighting during 2020-2023 wasn't just because of Ngannou. The NSAC said at his 2019 hearing that one more anti-doping violation would be a lifetime ban. But the UFC has an NDA with USADA. I think the UFC forced USADA to keep quiet about another anti-doping violation for Jon Jones, and USADA agreed for Jon to be internally suspended, without releasing the report to the NSAC.

I believe this is why USADA ultimately declared their relationship with the UFC "untenable", because it's a literal crime to hide anti-doping violations from the NSAC.

IMO now Jon Jones is threatening to spill the beans if the UFC doesn't do what he wants.

The Conor deal was the last straw for both the UFC and USADA imo. And I 100% believe your interpretation of why Jones was on his hiatus at that time. They had to make up a new term (pico) just for Jones because he couldn't stop testing positive ffs. Whole events have been moved for Jon's cheating. And to think this is the guy Dana chooses to prop up? Make it make sense.

It's because he hasn't lost. Dana loves to brag.

That "white belt kickboxer" or the "old man" would've turned Feeder's ass inside out.

Nice deflection Mr. sideshow circus lover.

I'll repeat: grand total of 0 fights that should have been sanctioned over the last half decade. The winner of those sideshow fights then declared #1 P4P for winning those "fights" ... lol can't make it up.

They need to just strip Jon, promote Tom to undisputed and put the UFC PR machine behind Tom. Yes the HW division might not be that stacked right now but when you have a big guy putting people to sleep inside one, thats like Mike Tyson level stuff there. People will tune in eventually, especially if Tom keeps winning. Glazing Jon for one more fight at best is just dumb at this point.

Dana White is all about stupid long-term decisions for short term profit.
