Daniel Cormier Supports Jon Jones After UFC White House Card Exclusion: "He Looked Crushed"
Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier has expressed sympathy for his long-time rival, Jon Jones, after the promotion failed to include him in the White House event card. Jones recently requested the UFC to release him from his contract if they believe he has nothing more to offer, and also refuted Dana White's claim that "Bones" was never involved in negotiations for a June 14 fight.
The former two-division UFC champion revealed on X that he had been preparing for a fight at the White House and even underwent stem cell treatment for his arthritis to begin training. However, a low offer for his fee ultimately prevented him from participating in the event.
Jon Jones appeared live on Instagram, openly expressing his frustration and stating he was "so pissed off."
Despite their strained relationship, which may never be repaired, "DC" has sided with Jones on this occasion. Commenting on the situation between Jones and the UFC regarding the White House event, he stated: "I kind of felt bad for Jon because it seemed like he wanted to fight on that card bad. He seemed crushed. He's laying in bed, and he's crushed. I think this is kind of like a come-to-Jesus moment for him."
Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions Extends Invitation to Jon Jones

Earlier today, following the Rousey vs. Carano press conference, Paul was asked by the media if he would be keen to sign "Bones" for an MMA fight under MVP if Jones were released from his UFC contract. The 29-year-old responded: "Jon, you're always welcome to come over to MVP. We'll get you paid what you deserve."
