Jon Jones might be one of the best fighters Dana White has ever seen, but the UFC president couldn't hide his frustrations with the former light heavyweight champion during a radio appearance this week.

Speaking with "The TSN MMA Show," White was asked if he considers Jones the biggest waste of talent he's known.

"Ever. Ever, in all of sports," White said. "The guy is so talented and gifted. God knows what he'd be doing right now if he had never got in trouble. He could possibly be the heavyweight champion and have the defense record that couldn't be broken. The list goes on and on of what could've been with Jon Jones."

White didn't sound optimistic about Jones receiving a short suspension from the USADA for his latest failed drug test.

"Whatever happens, happens," he said.
