<h2>Craig Jones Unhappy with Gable Steveson</h2>
<p>Craig Jones has expressed his dissatisfaction with Gable Steveson.</p>
</div>
<div class="article-body-component">
<p>This past weekend, Jones and Steveson were set to compete in the final match of the Craig Jones Invitational 2, a two-night grappling event in Las Vegas. However, Steveson withdrew earlier in the week, citing a turf toe injury. Despite this, the Olympic gold medalist is still scheduled to make his MMA debut at LFA 217 in two weeks. For Jones, this situation is something he’s still coming to terms with.</p>

<div class="article-body-component">
<p>“I had my doubts the whole time,” Jones mentioned in an interview with <em>The Mac Life</em>. “I should have considered a backup plan more seriously. We wanted the match with Gable because it could attract a broader audience to jiu-jitsu, but he didn’t put in the effort. He only collaborated on three promotional posts.”</p>

<p>Jones reflected, “In hindsight, we should have opted for Wyatt Hendrickson, who defeated Steveson in the 2025 NCAA championship match. That would have been more entertaining. Although we did sign Steveson before he lost, it’s advisable to negotiate after someone’s loss.”</p>

<p>Following Steveson's exit, some speculated it was a tactic orchestrated by the UFC, with whom Jones has a strained relationship. However, he doesn’t believe that’s the case. “Never assume malice when ignorance is a sufficient explanation,” Jones stated. “His management even tried to book him for a different fight just days before our event, which left me worried about their commitment to ours.”</p>

<div class="article-body-component">
<p>“When he booked his LFA fight two weeks after, I became genuinely concerned,” Jones said. “He also stopped responding to me completely. Typically, he was slow to reply, but then he went silent. A little decency would have been nice; a warning would have been appreciated.”</p>
</div>
<div class="article-body-component">
<p>Unfortunately for Jones, it’s challenging to find last-minute replacements with comparable credentials to Steveson. However, former UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen has stepped in to face Jones in the main event. "Chael does what he wants," Jones said. “I respect that about him. If anyone at the UFC, including Dana White, attempted to stop him, he would still proceed.”</p>
