UFC Freedom 250 Exposes the UFC’s Broken Promise Machine

What we actually received was UFC Freedom 250 — a card with Topuria vs Gaethje and Pereira vs Gane, but no superstars, no superfights, and the quiet confirmation that Jon Jones will never fight in the UFC again. This week, Jones fired back at Dana White on Twitter revealing he was actively negotiating and received stem cell treatment. Ronda Rousey went scorched earth on the streaming model.
