• White has publicly cast Jon Jones as highly unlikely for the card, while Henry Cejudo predicts he will relent and Kamaru Usman backs White’s stance.
• Plans call for International Fight Week to move to Washington, D.C., with large viewing at President’s Park, highlighting the event’s scale under the new Paramount rights package.
