Let me reiterate then.
When Dana White says something about a fight then it would presumably be official.
While if it was first mentioned on a podcast such as the Joe Rogan experience show. Then that would be speculation.
And since you said it was talked about months ago(just brought it back into light recently), while Dana just announced it last week on someone's interview captured on their social media.
Dana White talks Power Slap 2, Nate Diaz, Offers Tyson Fury contract to fight Jon Jones in the UFC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hAWhdkqfhE

I will tend to lean towards what the boss Dana White would have to say about anything as concrete evidence going forward when it comes to a match taking place in his own organization.

Dana White did not start this topic, Tyson Fury made a statement in social media last week to a podcast of Joe Rogan which was recorded months ago in which Joe Rogan says that if they fights one on one inside a room, he will bet on Jon Jones and there is no way anyone would beat him in a full on combat battle. Tyson Fury did not like that statement and he blasted Joe Rogan and challenged Jon Jones and Jon Jones responded to that challenge and invited to fight in MMA and during that period Dana White was asked about the question in an interview and he gave Tyson Fury the offer to fight in MMA and Tyson Fury backtracked as he is only interested in Boxing and not MMA.

Yes @jakelyson Chanel Sonnen discussed this here on his channel:
Dana White’s offer’s Tyson Fury UFC fight vs Jon Jones…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlXC2s6SBcU

Also Micheal Bisping even denounced the notion of the fight even going to happen since Tyson does not want to fight in an octagon:
BISPING: TYSON FURY BACK-PEDDLES ON FIGHTING JON JONES
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptz2n99iyr8

It was all announced by Dana White just to cause hype and nothing more than that.

Thanks for the insight about this it could surely be a good help when these two fights but right now I think that the UFC has a break now they don't have an event this week but at least this future fights are surely great to make discussion now that this week is a break for the UFC for sure the odds will surely go towards Khamzat Chimaev for this event,


Right now I am surely looking forward to that exhibition match between Jon Jones VS Tyson Fury but there is a video circulating of Tyson Fury having a Conversation with Israel Adesanya and Tyson Fury is saying he ain't going in no cage here is the link https://youtube.com/shorts/5e3lfxWwLfU?feature=share

This could be a one-sided fight in my opinion if you look at the two Kamaru Usman is not really engaging in the ground so much if these two would fight on the ground Khamzat Chimaev will have more power because he is younger than Usman, If you have seen the 3 big fights of Khamzat Chimaev and what he has done to those three you can surely see the difference in terms of technique and power, I am talking about Chimaev's fight with, Li Jingliang, Gilbert Burns, and Kevin Holland,



There is a lot of engagement happening with Boxing and there are some big promoters in that combat sport because it is well known than MMA, so if this fight continues MMA will now have exposure to other people that didn't know about MMA, I think many will get interested about it, regarding the number of Tyson Fury fans this is a great opportunity in my opinion, for me, it is a great engagement and Dana White is investing in it that will surely have a potential to profit,

There are some that are wondering if the Sportsbet betting link might be the wrong link and if it might be a different fight event, I will tell you guys it is the correct one you might notice that it was UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Allen that is because the real Main Event for this event was between
Jack Hermansson vs. Brendan Allen in the 1st place but suddenly Hermansson Withdrew and so the Main Event turned into Kai Kara-France VS Amir Albazi, and maybe that is why the fight was suddenly delayed or something but yeah Sportsbet or maybe in another bookie didn't change the title for the fight they still go with UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Allen well you just need to look for the specific fight you like and I think you will surely see it,

Actually, 1st time to see these fighters Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev that are having exchange words on their social media but it is likely looking at their previous fights I can say that Khamzat Chimaev is going to be the odds favorite for sure he is younger, No very younger than Kamaru Usman, at 29 years old only while Usman is already 36, for sure we can say that Chimaev has a lot of advantage in this fight, even though both have a ground game I think Khamzat Chimaev in what I have seen in his fight videos has a more advance ground game than Usman,


I think Dana White is thinking of money more than his fighters he surely knows the big PPV when Jon Jones fights with Tyson Fury, and for sure Dana White is good at seeing a potential money-making fight and this is imminent with the number of people giving a thing for these two fighters, so yeah this is going to be a great fight for sure, and about Ngannou there could be a thing about it giving Jones a boxing match it is to show Francis Ngannou an opportunity for him leaving UFC, but for sure Dana White will still not give it to Ngannou even if he doesn't leave UFC,

Heard about Usman wanting to have a match against Khamzat Chimaev yesterday making the rounds around UFC media.
The thing is that Khamzat has been banned from traveling to the United States.
So it would need to be where they have set for it to take place at fight island in Abu Dhabi.

This is the first I had heard of Tyson Fury wanting to fight Jon Jones.
Because honestly, I am not into the whole boxing spectacle it has become and let it go from my crosshairs since the golden age of the sport, When the real Tyson was still in the ring, Iron Mike that is.
Because now you have Jake Paul and the like, it has become just pure nonsense and a circus with him being head clown.
I would take the UFC teaming up with WWE any day of the week compared to what the sport of boxing has become.
Only my opinion so do not take offense to it @YuginKadoya
But that is why I see Fury calling out a recent championed UFC fighter in Jones, to me, just utter showboating at this stage.

You just can not take off the Preliminary because there are still fights in there that have the potential for a beatdown, there are times that the Preliminary side could be a sudden banger if you can give it a try, but it is your decision to skip it because the last event most of the Preliminary was some great stuff,
in it but surely you still have time to think about it because the fight is next weekend we are on Hiatus for the UFC event,

UFC crazy news right now we are expecting a banger of a fight because Khamzat Chimaev is now having a fight with the ex-champion Kamaru Usman, and after that, he doesn't care anymore about who's next on his list whether it is Leon Edwards or Israel Adesanya, man for me this is a hot take and I will definitely see this as a great fight aswell because for Khamzat Chimaev, Edwards and Adesanya are the same to him he can surely go towards them and Smeesh them with ease, Here are the NEWS

And talking about Dana White is biased against Jon Jones, he is considering Jone Jones to fight Tyson Fury and will Allow it while he doesn't allow Francis Ngannou back then to have his boxing match, talk about Dana "The Bias" White, maybe this is showing Ngannou that he can give something if he likes the guy, but whatever White is just doing it because of the PFL contract Signing news that could disrupt a ripple between UFC and PFL, and Dana White is giving his kind of ripple to the add, here is the NEWS

Taking offs the Preliminary Cards I really think that the Main Card is the only interesting fight right now, that could win Via KO/TKO or submission, I really see this as an opportunity for most of the fighters here to regain their confidence and maybe gain a decent win because most of them come from a recent loss in a fight, I really think this is a great opportunity for them for sure, and this event is going to be next week so we don't have any even this weekend,

Actually, I was really waiting for UFC 289, the Co-Main Event Charles Oliveira VS Beneil Dariush fight, even though the Main Event is between two girls Amanda Nunes against Irene Aldana I feel like I already know what is going to happen with the Main Event and the most exciting one will surely be the Co-Main Event fight,

I think we are moving on to a new event and this is the next event for UFC,

Sportsbet odds - SPORTSBETS

It was a good decision to go with Mackenzie Dern and Joaquin Buckley because these two fighters are the only ones I know and Edmen Shahbazyan and  Anthony Hernandez I really don't have any idea at all, but watching the fight with Anthony Hernandez and looking at Edmen Shahbazyan's records and stat I surely understand why, why Anthony Hernandez win the match, but surely Dern and Buckley deserves the win and for this event even though this is just a fight night it was like the Main Event because there are a lot of KO/TKO ending and it was really a surprise, to see,

---

The result of my picks

Mackenzie Dern (-170) VS Angela Hill (+145) - Decision WIN

Mackenzie Dern is actually a beast from the stand-up she was really racking and dominating Angela Hill, I really think Hill needs to retire after this fight, but I guess she will think even more about this, but surely she can not escape those takedowns Mackenzie Dern just don't have enough time to finish Hill with the submission, but likely it was a great fight and a fun fight to watch,

Andre Fialho (+185)  VS Joaquin Buckley (-215) - KO WIN

Andre Fialho doesn't see the kick and just like I thought Fialho will surely have a difficult time with Buckley because of that combination of accurate kicks and punches, and I was right about it, he just saw the faints but the upcoming kick he doesn't really see it and that has dropped him to the ground and Buckley will have a slow follow up on Fialho but the referee has already stopped the fight, that kicks really was deep on Fialho, and it was over,

Result of my full fight for the UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Hill I was great with this result I think I will go and make my prediction in the next Multi-Master Bet

@owengtam09
Congratulations to you for these two fights were good selections to make on the main card.
I managed to watch the main event and it went the full five rounds with Dern dominating each and every round.
Just surprised she didn't get the submission in the end. But all respect to Hill as she took a tremendous amount of damage and still stood standing at the end.
Over all the card was a good one and should keep the UFC fans expectations fulfilled until June 3 when the next event will be taking place at the Apex with Kara France vs Amir Albazi.

I think you got a tremendous pick actually all that is my pick aswell if I would manage to give it a try in the Multi-master challenge but yeah I was really not the type to try and make a huge risk like that but I may try someday, well the event is now starting it is nearing Andre Fialho VS Joaquin Buckley so I am going to drop this prediction of mine here aswell,

Mackenzie Dern (-170) VS Angela Hill (+145)

Angela Hill surely got some nasty combination with her striking and it is imminent in her latest fight against Emily Ducote but surely she doesn't have that power punch that could knock out her opponent because if the fight against Mackenzie Dern goes the distance the favor will then went to Dern this could surely end up in the ground and even with great takedown defense Mackenzie Dern is surely persistent with his ground game and might submit Angela Hill in the end so my pick is Mackenzie Dern,

Andre Fialho (+185)  VS Joaquin Buckley (-215)

Fialho is a brawler and his fight with Jake Matthews has proven that he isn't a technical fighter at all, while Joaquin Buckley got a combination of Kicks and punches for a good combination, and for this Joaquin Buckley has the advantage with the reach even though Fialho is much taller than him, I think Buckley will surely use his advantage with the kicks and surely those leg kick will surely be effective against Fialho so my pick is Joaquin Buckley,

UFC fight night 224 or as most know it as, UFC Vegas 73 will be starting in an hour and a half.
Two fights which were scheduled this fight card when I was checking the statistics on some of the fighters were cancelled early on:
Raquel Pennington vs Irene Aldana and Emily Ducote vs Polyana Viana.
Those two bouts were probably replaced already since it is showing a full card of fights ahead for the night.
The two I am looking forward to are:
Chase Hooper Vs. Nick Fiore & Carolina Kowalkiewicz Vs. Vanessa Demopoulos
As well the main event with Mackenzie Dern being the favorite right before the night begins.

Prelims have began and can be bet on here:

Here are my prediction and picks and with Sportsbet's Odds

Mackenzie Dern VS Angela Hill

The Sportsbet odds for this fight are 1.57 for Derns and 2.41 for Hill Well, I can not say if Angela Hill improve his takedown defense but she always says in her interview that her takedown defense was improved, even so, Hill can not underestimate Mackenzie Dern in the stand-up even though all of her wins were on the ground her striking can surely cause her opponent to underestimate her on that field but when it comes to the ground she is superb, for me I think they will surely exchange blows on the stand-up and when Dern has softened Hill she can surely go with that submission from there, or if Hill is dominating the stand-up she will surely capitalize with the takedown, there are a lot of option for Dern for an attack so my pick is Mackenzie Dern,

Edmen Shahbazyan VS Anthony Hernandez

The Sportsbet odds for this fight are 2.70 for Shahbazyan and 1.47 for Hernandez, Edmen Shahbazyan is a pure striker but if given a chance when his opponent could give their back he can surely go with the rear naked choke, but Anthony Hernandez has a good submission and adapts his submission sets with every opponent he fights, I am really curious with Anthony Hernandez style it is like he is adapting when he was beaten by a grappler with a rear naked choke his next fight he will win via armbar then when Markus Perez defeated him with an Anaconda Choke he later would apply this with his next fight with Jun Yong Park and win via Anaconda choke I really think Anthony Hernandez has a lot of tools he can throw at Edmen Shahbazyan so my pick is Anthony Hernandez,

Andre Fialho VS Joaquin Buckley

The Sportsbet odds for this fight are 2.80 for Fialho and 1.44 for Buckley, Andre Fialho is a brawler surely he would strike but he is not really a technical fighter, while Joaquin Buckley has a combination of kicks and punches, but Buckley surely has an accurate kick, with this combination I think he got some range against Fialho, even though Fialho is much taller Buckley still got much range needed in giving Andre Fialho a hard time so my pick is Joaquin Buckley,

My picks and predictions for the latest UFC event

Mackenzie Dern vs Angela Hill

Watching the latest Angela Hill fight even though it was a decision win she surely had a lot of combinations and you can see her dominating with faints and a kick and punch combination, Emily Ducote doesn't have enough output in her, surely even if Mackenzie Dern is good at the ground if he can not take the fight to the ground this is a win for Angela Hill for sure, that is why my pick is Angela Hill and she might get upset for this fight, Sportsbet odds are 1.57 for Dern and 2.41 for Hill a tempting odd to bet for Hill,

Edmen Shahbazyan vs Anthony Hernandez

I really like Anthony Hernandez and how he can surely approach this one Edmen Shahbazyan might have the height and reach advantage but Anthony Hernandez is surely a technical one and when the fight goes to the ground Hernandez has a huge advantage and much familiar in the ground game, than Edmen Shahbazyan, Sportsbet odds are 2.70 for Shahbazyan and 1.47 for Hernandez my pick will be Hernandez winning this via submission win,

UFC Fight Night 224 Multi-Master Challenge

Now that UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Hill is on its way this fight could be very one-sided for Mackenzie Dern because of her style wrestling is a weakness for most strikers, but Angela Hill may have been very busy with something, and as I have said some fighters will be dedicated to acquiring a new technique in this interview Angela Hill still wants to pursue that belt to be a top contender and as a champion but Angela Hill got a bad record now she should retire after he lost to Dern

Well, Striker's weakness is most likely Wrestlers, but strikers can depend on those takedowns with their takedown defense, but surely to defend they need to learn the basic of takedowns so likely they will also learn some basics of wrestling, whether it is Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, Combat Sambo, or American wrestling, but most of the time Strikers will never resort to wrestling unless gets triggered in doing so but in Jairzinho Rozenstruik case, he might have the takedown defense but Almeida Still scrumble with him by moving sideways and tripping Jairzinho Rozenstruik to his side to take him down, likely Jairzinho Rozenstruik doesn't have an answer to Jailton Almeida's Wrestling, that is why he was very vulnerable to wrestling this is what was pretty common to heavyweights like Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Derrick Lewis they are one dimensional and technical fighters are reading their movement like a book,

And on the news, Kron Gracie broke his silence with his previous loss with the UFC 288 and said that he never threw any punch at all because of some bad advice, President Dana "TheSlaver" White later described the fight as “like coming out of a time capsule in 1995,” said the son of Rickson Gracie “came in very limited tonight.”

Truly a classic Dana White at its best, Kron Gracie has shared his thoughts on what has happened and that he is likely following bad advice, for sure his trainer and coach because of that "bad advice"  he is saying maybe they are now in bad terms, right now and likely Kron Gracie would likely search new camp to train himself, here are the LINK
