Previously, the league president ignored the veteran's constant requests to fight at the White House in June, angering him. Unwavering, Dana explained more than once that he never considered giving Jones the opportunity to be part of the historic event because, over the years, it had proven unreliable, falling short in certain areas, particularly regarding legal issues and doping.

“No. What’s the difference between that and what Jones has been doing for the last ten years? The way I always looked at it is that I used to tell Lorenzo, ‘You’ll never build a business with this guy, but when he shows up, it’s fun’,” said the executive.
