Dana White seems to be more than happy to welcome Tyson Fury, the heavyweight king of boxing, into the world of UFC. Dana White’s sudden interest in a crossover came because of the ongoing heated battle between Tyson Fury and Jon Jones over social media.
If such a match actually ends up happening, the internet will break, and the event will be massively successful from all corners. Tyson Fury wasn’t happy with Joe Rogan’s comments about him favouring Jon Jones in a hypothetical fight.
The virtual clash is gaining more and more popularity, and who knows, someday, the virtual battle may translate into a real one.
Dana White on Jon Jones vs Tyson Fury
The president of the UFC, Dana White, seems to be more than just interested in the crossover clash and looks forward to making it happen if both the fighters are equally interested.
“Jon Jones is the baddest dude on the planet,” White said as quoted by mmafighting.com. “There’s no debate, there’s no denying it. There’s no debate. I don’t care what anybody says, everybody can try to spin it, a lot of this stuff is clickbait, and you know how I am.
“If Tyson Fury really wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, I will make it happen. Here’s my thing right now to Tyson Fury, ‘Tyson, if you’re serious, let me know.’ Tyson and I have a good relationship.
I like Tyson Fury”. “Let’s find out,” White further said. “Listen, we can talk all we want. Tyson can talk, Jon Jones can talk, I can talk, we can all talk. Let’s do it. If Tyson’s serious and he wants to do it—I got Floyd Mayweather to fight.
We paid Floyd and got Floyd the number he wanted. If Tyson Fury is serious and he wants to fight Jon Jones in the UFC, let’s start talking”.
