The chances of seeing “Bones” fight in a main event are steadily growing thin.
After former light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones was pulled from UFC 200 for an anti-doping violation, UFC President Dana White swore off “Bones” from competing in main events ever again.
Now, the president is doubling down on his stance with the former champion.
In a recent interview with Fox Sports, White said:
“If Jones fights, Jones is going to be a co-main event anyway. There’s already a co-main event on that card,” White explained, referencing the possibility of Jones fighting on International Fight week.
“I’d put just about everybody ahead [of Jon Jones] and make them the main event. I just don’t have the faith right now that the fight’s going to happen. I don’t want to spend millions and millions of dollars again promoting a fight that doesn’t happen.”
