UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has asked UFC president Dana White to release him following failed negotiations for a Francis Ngannou superfight.
On Thursday, White told reporters that the Jones vs. Ngannou fight wasn’t happening because Jones had asked for an “obscene” amount of money to get the fight signed. In turn, Jones went on a long rant against the promotion’s leader for “lying to the fans” about the potential numbers being thrown around for the failed Ngannou fight.
On Friday, Jones doubled up on his criticisms of the way the UFC has handled this situation. In a series of posts released on his Twitter, Jones once again went off on White for his comments about pay, and this time, Jones asked for his release from the UFC.
