UFC Freedom 250 Exposes the UFC’s Broken Promise Machine

The UFC promised us the greatest card in history for the White House event. Six or seven title fights. Jon Jones. Conor McGregor. Francis Ngannou. 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. And the Conor Benn Zufa Boxing payday exposed how dramatically the UFC undervalues its own fighters. Dave Simon calls it what it is: over-promising and under-delivering.
