Dana White, the CEO of UFC, stated that he does not want to take risks and put Jon Jones on the card of the tournament that will take place in the White House.
“I cannot take the risk of putting him in that position, in case something goes wrong. Especially when it comes to the tournament in the White House,” White said at a press conference after UFC 318.
Let us recall that earlier Jon Jones announced his retirement, but it later became known that he returned to the testing pool.
