By now, MMA fans are aware of Dana White‘s liking for taking cold plunges, a technique that White incorporated into his healthy lifestyle after getting a major health scare that led him to fear for his life. Since then, White has become a fan of the recovery technique that is also followed by several other noted athletes as well as UFC commentator Joe Rogan.
So, when White uploaded a promotional video of him enjoying the cold plunge facilities in the Eden One membership club, he did not expect the kind of reaction that he received in the comments. Fans decided not to focus on the video but rather on White’s interest in UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Dana White and Jon Jones have quite an interesting relationship according to fans. While it is true that ‘Bones’ is arguably one of the biggest MMA fighters to ever be a part of the promotion, what makes things weird for spectators is the UFC CEO constantly trying to praise and push the heavyweight champion. A sense of biasedness often draws the ire of MMA fans.

A great example of it was when the entire MMA community believed that Islam Makhachev should be considered the P4P goat; White believed otherwise. The UFC CEO claimed that Jones is obviously the P4P best in his opinion. He said, “He fought a weight class down. Jones Jones fought a weight class up… Jon Jones has always been willing to fight anybody.” As a result, it is now a running gag within the UFC community to poke fun at White by mentioning Jon Jones and his liking for the Heavyweight.

The shot of Dana White relaxing in a bathtub was a truly aesthetic clip from a filmmaking perspective. Some fans were quick to comment that it must be ‘Bones’ who was filming the video. They wrote, “Jon Jones is filming this,” and “Jon jones is recording by the way.” Meanwhile, some fans took their imaginations further by making some ludicrous claims.
One fan joked, “Jones the one who’s gonna rub Dana back 😍😂” while another user claimed that ‘Bones’ was present in the room moments ago, “Jon jones walked out of that room right there.” This was probably in reference to White saying Jones would walk out of the room regardless of who he was locked in there with (because he’s the P4P greatest).
One fan even wondered if White is thinking about the heavyweight champion even when he is taking the plunge. “Are you thinking about Jon Jones?”

However, not everyone was fixated on the relationship between Dana White and Jones. Some users were quick to call out the fact that White had already uploaded this video before. Although, back then, it was an Instagram story. As they remarked, “Why you delete it n post this again?” and “Dana why would u post this we saw it on your story like 4 days ago? 😂”
Well, it surely looks like fans love pulling the UFC CEO’s leg. However, it would be interesting to see how White reacts to it. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
