"I just know that Jon Jones is one of the best fighters ever. You want to see the guy get paid. But at the same time, there has been inconsistencies with Jon in the past and Dana... I hope it's not a money issue... If it's because they don't want to pay Jon, that's some s-t to me. Because out of Dana White's own mouth - 'Jon Jones is one of the best fighters that's ever lived.' So if the best fighter that ever lived ain't getting paid what he deserves, who is?"
Jon Jones and the UFC experienced a public dispute following his exclusion from the UFC White House card despite nearly a year of negotiations. Jones initially retired in June before returning to the drug testing pool when the White House event was announced, but Dana White remained skeptical about his participation. Jones ultimately did not make the card and requested his UFC release. Jorge Masvidal expressed concern about the falling out, hoping it wasn't financially motivated. Masvidal argues that if Jones is truly the greatest fighter ever, as White has claimed, he deserves appropriate compensation and should receive a significant final fight and payday elsewhere.
