UFC president, Dana White has revealed he is having a hard time getting the lone loss removed from Jon Jones’ record.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion has never truly lost, as his only loss on his record came in his 10th fight as he was disqualified due to illegal elbows. However, it was a controversial DQ and since the event, White has made it clear he wanted to get the loss overturned to a no-contest.
“The guy’s never lost a fight ever. That one loss on his record, we’re trying to get that overturned,” White had said to the media. “It was at a time and a place in the Nevada State Athletic Commission when it was at its worst. It was the weakest commission ever in the history of Nevada, and the referee that reffed that fight shouldn’t have even been in there, and he disqualified Jon, which shouldn’t have happened either. So, hopefully, we can get that done.”
Now, however, Dana White isn’t as optimistic that the Nevada State Athletic Commission will overturn the result.
“I’ve battled hard to try and get that one taken off the back of his record which is almost impossible to do. Which is insane, it is crazy that that thing doesn’t go away,” White said to ESPN. “At the time, the Nevada State Athletic Commission was at it’s weakest, the guy who was running it was weak, the people who were involved were weak. Everybody was weak at the time. You should be able to look back and say okay let’s make this right. So far no good, I have really worked hard to try and get that 1 taken off his record. But, it is not looking good.”
on Jones does not have his next fight booked but it is expected he will face the winner of Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou 2 later this year.
And what about the NC for the failed drug test after 214? How are you going to rewrite history on that one, Egg?
How did the commision or the ref or the phase of the moon cause that blemish on Jonny Angel's perfect record?

He did break the rule, everyone sees him as undefeated based on that being his only loss. Not getting into the couple decisions people dispute. This is a silly thing to rewrite history for.

Of all the shit this guy has done, he's concerned about that one loss. Â
If he stopped talking about his one loss, no one would remember it in contrast to the litany of other retarded things he's done.
Complaining about that loss just makes him look out of touch with reality and unaware of his surroundings. Tone deaf.

Lol yeah. BLAF, so you mean weak as in referees doing the job they were paid to do, by disqualifying a fighter for breaking a rule? A loss is a loss.Â
Add an asterisk for his gift decisions and PED tests

It definitely should be a no contest. I can't think of one other time that rule has come into play in a fight. That fight was a brutal 1 sided beating and should've been stopped before it ever got to that point. The incident literally only happened because Jon was on the verge of beating a man to death while the referee stared on, to the point Jon was trying to find a new angle to hit the poor guy to finally get it stopped.Â

when has a fight ever been overturned more than a month afterwards? ever?Â
He separated hammil’s shoulder with the throw before he got mount, so the fight was over. John clearly deserved the dq, but it’s funny he could have gotten up and walked away instead of throwing any strikes and he’d have won.Â
This is absolutely motivated by Khabib recently overtaking Jon in GOAT talk. Khabib is undefeated and it drives Jones crazy that he has one L on his record.
*But the asterisk for the JJ picograms isn't going to be expunged!
