" Gane had named Jones the "best fighter in the UFC right now" in an interview with TNT Sports. Jones submitted Gane at UFC 285 in 2023, a bout that gave Jones two-division glory. The relationship between Jones and UFC promoter Dana White fractured earlier this year after Jones was denied a spot on the upcoming UFC card at the White House.
Jones contacted a lawyer in an attempt to escape his UFC contract. During the broadcast of MVP MMA 1 on Netflix in May, Jones hinted at chasing a Francis Ngannou fight outside the UFC. He has also teased a potential boxing venture.
Gane will fight Alex Pereira on Sunday for interim heavyweight status. The event will take place on the White House lawn. Jones will watch the card from home despite earlier calls for a fight at the event.
Jones had demanded his UFC release after White publicly denied that any negotiations took place. Despite those efforts, Jones stated he remains ready to compete inside the Octagon.
