With their charming and lighthearted banter, Jon Jones and Dana White created some unanticipated agitation in the always changing UFC environment.

At UFC 304, interim heavyweight champion Tom Espinal made news by successfully defending his championship against Curtis Blades.
Dana White Defends Jones’ P4P ranking
Despite Jon Jones’s lack of action, Dana White has been very outspoken in his support of the leader. Jones is presently placed third on the pound-for-pound (P4P) list, and White recently expressed his frustration with him in an interview with Kevin Iole. “That’s the most fcking ridiculous, embarrassing, stupid, all f*cking about-anything fight rankings going on yesterday,” said White, referring to Jon Jones’ 3 pound-for-pound standing in the UFC.
