“F*ck You” – Dana White Goes Off On Reporter For Asking Question About The Pound-For-Pound Best Fighter
UFC press conferences are known for their intensity, but Dana White just took things to a new level. During a recent UFC 311 event, a reporter dared ask about the pound-for-pound rankings, and White’s response was explosive.
The question seemed simple enough: Would White finally acknowledge Islam Makhachev as the top pound-for-pound fighter if he won his upcoming fight? White didn’t have it. His immediate response was sharp and unfiltered.
“Listen, Islam knows I love him, man, but you know how I feel about that. Jon Jones is undefeated for however many years, and boo all you want, I don’t give a sh*t. And f**k you for asking that question.”
White has long been a vocal supporter of Jon Jones, repeatedly arguing that Jones remains the best fighter despite periods of inactivity. Even with Islam Makhachev’s impressive streak – defeating champions like Alexander Volkanovski and Charles Oliveira – White stands firm in his Jones loyalty.
Both fighters have impressive credentials. Islam Makhachev has been dominating the lightweight division, while Jon Jones recently defended the heavyweight title with a knockout of Stipe Miocic. But for White, there’s no competition – ‘Bones’ is the undisputed king.
Dana White Shuts Down Rumors Of Jon Jones Fighting Francis Ngannou
The combat sports community always buzzes with speculation about dream fights that might never happen. Recently, the MMA universe went into overdrive with whispers of a potential showdown between two heavyweight titans: Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones.
Dana White is the UFC president known for his no-nonsense approach. With a blunt statement that cut through the mounting excitement, White quickly shut down the Ngannou-Jones fight speculation. His response was simple and definitive:
“Absolutely NOT true. Jon vs Tom.”
Jones, meanwhile, seemed hesitant about facing Aspinall, believing such a victory might not significantly boost his already massive legacy. The entire scenario reads like a high-stakes poker game, with each fighter and Dana White himself playing their cards close to the chest.
