Dana White at Jones? defence once again ? UFC News
Finally, it seems like the feud between president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White and light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been settled. After watching Jones put up everything at stake against Vitor Belfort at UFC 152, White believes Jones should be credited for his accomplishments.
?There's no doubt that this was Jones' best performance. He looked phenomenal tonight,? said White during the post-fight press conference.
Jones faced the toughest fight of his life against Belfort. He was locked in an armbar submission right in the first round by the Brazilian fighter yet Jones did not give up. During the press conference, Jones admitted that he felt his arm was about to break but he was not ready to give up. He claimed that he would have carried on even if he had to fight with one arm.
When asked about the injury, Jones said that after the submission hold, he felt like his arm was not in the right condition yet he used it to hit Belfort because he is trained to do so.
White and Jones had their bitter moments following UFC 151?s declination recently. However, White believes everyone makes mistakes in their young age and so did Jones. White is ready to forgive the champion for his wrongdoings.
?At the end of the day, has he made a few mistakes? Of course he has. He's not a bad guy. He's not a bad kid at all. He and I sat down yesterday, we had a great conversation...Everything is awesome.?
?There can be no more naysaying about Jon Jones. Listen, you love him or you hate him. If you don't like him, whatever, if you like him, good, but you can't deny that the kid is extremely talented and one of the best in the world...I disagree, and I think that Jon Jones did look unbeatable tonight.?
As of now, White is once again impressed by the American champion, believing that it is about time for naysayers to start respecting Jones. White also highlighted the fact that Jones was highly criticised for not being able to take punches, but now he did and he has proved himself as a top-notch fighter.
