UFC President Dana White is facing criticism over his handling of fighter matchups and rankings, particularly regarding Jon Jones, who has fought only once in the last three years due to injury. UFC legend Randy Couture has expressed frustration over the UFC's reluctance to facilitate Champion vs. Champion fights, suggesting that egos within the organization prevent exciting matchups from happening. White, defending Jones as the top pound-for-pound fighter, argued that Jones' inactivity is not his fault, attributing it to injuries. This debate intensified at a recent press conference, where White dismissed media arguments against Jones' ranking, insisting that the numbers support his claims. Meanwhile, UFC bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili has stirred controversy after posting a video of himself removing stitches, prompting White to criticize him for his reckless behavior. As the UFC prepares for UFC 306, the ongoing tensions between White, fighters, and the media continue to capture fans' attention.
