Key Points:
- Jon Jones revealed he was in deep negotiations with the UFC to fight on the upcoming White House card but declined the offer after the promotion refused to increase their $15 million offer, which he felt undervalued the bout compared to a previous $30 million offer to fight Tom Aspinall.
- Jones claims he was ready and willing to compete at the event for less money than the Aspinall fight but felt the UFC’s offer did not reflect the fight's worth, leading to his decision not to participate.
- UFC CEO Dana White denied that Jones was ever seriously considered for the White House card, citing Jones’ history of fight withdrawals and health concerns related to his hips, which White claims impair his ability to compete.
