UFC President Dana White has publicly shown his support for Jon Jones as he prepares for a title defense against Stipe Miocic, despite criticism from the MMA community urging Jones to fight interim champ Tom Aspinall instead. White defends the Miocic matchup, emphasizing its importance due to their previous scheduled fight and Jones' status in the sport. Meanwhile, Jones has reciprocated White's praise, sharing a humorous post that references White's famous quote about his negotiating prowess. In addition, White expressed his admiration for Mike Tyson's candidness in a recent interview, where Tyson dismissed public opinions with a blunt response. White's endorsement of Tyson comes amidst his own struggles with media criticism regarding his favoritism towards Jones, particularly given Jones' inactivity in the ring. Both figures are navigating their respective controversies with resilience and humor.
