Dana White Snaps Back At Jon Jones

Ariel Helwani spoke to UFC President Dana White after the UFC 152 weigh-ins and Dana didn't hold back about his frustration with Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones. MMA Fighting's Dave Meltzer typed up a bunch of the quotes. Here's Dana responding to Jones' claims that he didn't realize UFC 151 would be cancelled if he declined to fight Chael Sonnen.

"I'm actually glad that he did say that. I don't think he would have said that if I was there. So today we're going to be face-to-face and we'll see what he says and he doesn't say. The fact that he said he didn't know the show would be canceled is false. I did tell him the show would be canceled.

"I think he takes this thing, or is acting like he's taking it, lightly, which he shouldn't be," White continued. "The fact that the fight was canceled isn't a joke. It's not funny and a lot of people were affected by it. There was a lot of collateral damage that happened with the cancelling of the show. We'll see how this goes."

"I think he needs to take it a little more serious than he is," said White. "I don't know if he's embarrassed. Obviously the fans have turned on him, but I think he needs to take this thing a little more serious than he did."
