Dana White 'I'm Not Speaking to Jon Jones' Get Your Life In Order First!
Dana White says he hasn't spoken with Jon Jones since his suspension -- and WON'T talk to the former champ -- until he clears up all of the issues in his personal life.
Jones was stripped of his interim light heavyweight title this week after USADA imposed a 1 year ban on him for testing positive for PEDs before UFC 200.
Jones claimed he wasn't trying to get a competitive edge -- but had innocently taken a "d**k pill" that he didn't know contained a banned substance.
So, we asked White if Jones was finally out of his dog house -- and long story short ... no.
"Jon's got a lot of things he's gotta handle and clear up before Jon and I talk," White says.
"It's all self-inflicted so he needs to figure some stuff out and get his personal life in order before he even thinks about what's going on over here [in the UFC]."
But not all of the fighters are writing Jones off ... Michael Bisping says Jon's still young enough and talented enough to dominate the UFC gain ... "Don't worry about him."

Eddie Alvarez isn't the only one taking shots at Conor McGregor ... 'cause PETA is calling out the MMA superstar over the flashy mink coat he wore during the UFC 205 presser Thursday, TMZ Sports has learned.
Aside from McGregor's usual news conference antics, all eyes were on his outfit ... which featured what he claims to be an all white Gucci mink.
PETA's Senior Vice President, Lisa Lange, took notice ... and called out the Notorious for his fashion choice.
"There are few things more out of touch than draping yourself in the skins of animals who were beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur," Lange says.
"Real men leave the beatings in the ring -- and fight, not support, animal abuse."

Donald Trump and Conor McGregor in the same building??
It could happen on Saturday ... because the President-elect had told Dana White he'd be at UFC 205 if he won the election.
We spoke with Dana -- who famously gave a speech for Donald at the Republican National Convention back in July -- and the UFC honcho told us about Trump's tentative plans to attend the fight in NYC.
"Donald originally told me he that would come to the fight if he won," White said.
"I don't think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he's meeting with Obama today and then I don't know. We'll see, man."
"Listen, no pressure to come ... but it wouldn't suck if he came."
White says Trump's family not only called him after the election -- but invited him to the victory party. And you bet your sweet ass White got out of bed and went!
