Jones says White House appearance boosted MMA’s prestige despite his absence

Jones says the UFC White House event elevated MMA’s prestige even though he wasn’t on the card, and he’s grateful for the moment as he reflected on staying grounded with a strong team, the sport’s rising status, and his own place in its history; the night featured Gaethje’s KO to unify the interim and undisputed lightweight titles and Topuria’s setback with an uncertain return timeline.
