Jon Jones is Fine Not Speaking With Dana White

Jon Jones spoke with the LA Times ahead of his fight with Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 this weekend. Highlights are below:

On being non-communicative with Dana White: “Unless he has something real pressing to talk to me about, I’d rather just talk to Ari Emanuel. As of now, I look at Ari as my boss and as Dana as more the face and the voice of UFC.”

On his relationship with White: “Dana White has reached out to me on at least four occasions, and I haven’t answered any of his calls or any of his text messages — that’s the reason we haven’t spoken. I just feel like when you’re making the company money and you’re a pay-per-view draw and you’re ultimately putting money in his pocket, then you mean a lot to him. The moment you aren’t those things, you mean nothing to him, and he’s done a decent job of showing that. I felt completely abandoned by him … in a situation when I needed him the most. I feel like he’s shown me his true colors, and now I have no desire to pretend like he cares about me or that we’re friends.”
