As the interviewer further probed about whether his sporadic acting gigs would become a more regular pursuit after his fighting days, 'Bones' responded:

"I definitely love acting. You know what? I do feel like a little bit of a natural at it. Maybe I'm not challenging myself with more difficult roles. So far, everything I've got to do, I'm playing myself. Yeah. So, I mean, stepping up, that would be a greater challenge to see if I actually really have skill in this, but acting would be nice. Yeah. And I think my most immediate goal is to try to be on the White House [card]."

From doping allegations to multiple run-ins with the law, 'Bones' always manages to find the spotlight. Nevertheless, White considers Jones the greatest fighter of all time.

Discussing White's apprehension about him and their complex relationship on the above-mentioned podcast, Jones said:

"When he's feeling me, I think I'm one of his favorite fighters. When he's not feeling me, yeah, I'm probably the reason why he has a bald head." [8:24 minutes into the interview]
