""I think my most immediate goal is to try to be on the White House card," Jones said in a videotaped appearance on the podcast, released in full on Thursday. Yet asked if he'd spoken to White about it, "I'm giving Dana his space," he replied."
""Dana has changed my life. He's changed my life, he's changed my children's lives. I'm forever grateful to him. We had a verbal agreement that didn't go over well, nothing was finalized, but I do admit guilt- not guilt, but I was wrong.""
""The way things went down, I was wrong. And I wish that I could see him face-to-face and just apologize to him so that we can let bygones be bygones and get back to making some major money for the sport, and really entertaining these fans.""
Jon Jones vacated the UFC heavyweight title earlier this year and announced his retirement, then reversed course after the White House card was announced. Dana White has publicly refused to include Jones on the card, citing Jones' history of cancellations and related issues. Jones admits partial responsibility for a verbal agreement with Tom Aspinall collapsing and expresses a desire to apologize to Dana White and reconcile. Jones reportedly turned down $30 million to fight Aspinall. With Aspinall now undisputed champion and facing a rematch with Ciryl Gane, Jones is targeting a fight with light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
