It was short but very important from Dana White, who finally addressed the accusations against Jon Jones by a drug testing officer that visited his home for an unexpected test. At the time, the UFC legend was at a party with friends and family while a little inhebriated. According to the officer, Jones insinuated a death threat and reported it to the authorities. Jones eventually responded to these accusations by releasing security footage of him walking two officers outside of his home. Jon denied the accusations and confirmed he is taking legal action on the matter. Keep in mind that this is not the first time Jon Jones is accused of erratic and violent behavior.

Dana White reacts to Jon Jones accusations

When everything took place, UFC President Dana White hadn't said a word of this situation between Jones and the drug testing officer. The opinion Dana has of Jones is that he is the greatest UFC fighter of all-time. Clearly, they have a great relationship and he would obviously support Jones on this case. However, Dana White was blunt when asked about the situation during the leading to UFC 300. He said: "No [I have no comment], no. That thing is going to play out legally, however it is. I think you saw that he posted footage... I don't know man. It's crazy."

What ever ends up happening with the case, Jon Jones will always have Dana White's support. Currently, the fighter is recovering from a serious tendon injury on hisupper pectoral muscle. Since that happened, he lost the chance to fight against Stipe Miocic to defend his Heavyweight title for the first time. Since that happned, British heavyweight Tom Aspinall has raised himself to the very top and is currently the interim Heavyweight champion. A potential clash between Jones and Aspinall has been denied by Dana white because he expects Jones to complete that pending fight against Miocic.
