Jon Jones requests his UFC release in scathing response to Dana White: 'No more spins, no more games'

· Yahoo Sports

Jon Jones is officially done with the "games" between he and UFC CEO Dana White. Jones, a former two-division champion who is widely recognized as one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, publicly called for his release from the promotion in a lengthy social media post Monday following White's dismissive comments about Jones being excluded from the UFC's White House event on June 14.

Said Jones:

Hey everyone, I wanted to address Dana White’s comments from this past weekend, because the truth matters to me and the fans. Dana, you were heated about why I’m not on the White House card, but let’s clear something up. My team and I were actually negotiating with the UFC for that fight. Real negotiations. I even came down from my original number, and what was I offered in return ? I was lowballed.

Yes, I have arthritis in my hip and it’s painful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight.

So let me get this straight, if I had accepted the lowball offer, suddenly my hip would be fine and I’d be on the White House card? That doesn’t make sense.

I even received stem cell treatment last week to get ready for the White House card, and training camp was scheduled to start today. I was preparing to be ready. 

I understand business deals fall through sometimes, but going out publicly and saying things that aren’t true isn’t right.

After everything I’ve given to the UFC, the years, the title defenses, the fights , hearing that I’m “done” is disappointing. Especially when as recently as Friday UFC was calling me trying to get me on that White House card for a much lower number. 

If the UFC truly feels like I’m done, then I respectfully ask to be released from my contract today. 

No more spins, no more games. 

Thank you to the real fans who know what’s up. 

Bones out.
