Dana White On Jones Allegations: Every Time We Do A Fight With Him, I Wonder If It Will Be His Last

Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has seen it all when it comes to light heavyweight champion Jon Jones both inside and outside of the Octagon. The champion has been almost flawless in his performances as a fighter but Jones’ activities away from fighting have landed him constantly in hot water.

News broke this week that Jones was again involved in another incident outside the Octagon allegedly involving a cocktail waitress at a strip club. White commented on the allegations in a recent media scrum and said that this kind of news doesn’t surprise him anymore, while maintaining that Jones is his own worst enemy (transcript via MMA Junkie).

“If you look at the lifestyle he’s lived the last seven, eight years of his life, and what he comes in the Octagon and does,” White said. “He just fought Thiago (Santos), who’s a (expletive) animal, and wants everything Jones has, stood in there – I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of more damage to one knee in my life. (Santos) fought and was still kicking with the leg, and Jon Jones beat him. It’s unbelievable how good Jon Jones really is. It’s the minute he steps out of the Octagon, you never know what’s going to happen.

“It doesn’t faze me anymore,” White added. “Every time we do a fight with Jon, I’m wondering if it’s going to be his last… it has nothing to do with money. It’s what’s going to happen outside the Octagon […] He’s in trouble right now.”

Jones sent out a tweet after the alleged incident and expressed confidence that he would not be in any trouble with the law once authorities completed their investigaton.

White said that the real story probably lies somewhere between the allegations and Jones’ comments on Twitter.

“There’s two sides to the story,” White said. “And the truth is somewhere in the middle, I’m sure.”
