Jon Jones claims to have not heard Dana White's comments about him after UFC 316

During the UFC 316 post-fight presser last weekend, UFC CEO Dana White told reporters that Jon Jones was offered and has accepted the deal to fight Tom Aspinall.

However, White also said that if a fighter doesn't want to fight and chooses to retire, the promotion cannot do anything besides try to negotiate with them to give fans what they want.

Recently, Bloody Elbow asked Jones if he had heard White's comments. 'Bones' replied:

"Dana's comments? No, I did not."
