The UFC has not been putting up great fights in recent months, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-they-ve-really-lost-way-ronda-rousey-blasts-ufc-leadership-says-things-changed-dana-white-allegedly-lost-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ronda Rousey slammed them recently<\/a> as she prepares for a return against Gina Carano.<\/p>\n<p>Further, White has also alienated some UFC legends, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jon-jones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jon Jones<\/a>, over his handling of pay and setting up fights.<\/p>\n<p>Jones wanted to fight at the White House event, but accusations of payout issues stopped that from happening.
