As mentioned in a tweet today after Dana said that he will not make Jones vs Ngannou happen, due to "Jones wanting too much money during this time"

"You already let me down a bit by shutting down this Francis Mega fight, don’t add salt to the wound by telling the fans something that’s not the truth."


"I don’t even make half of half of what Diante Wilder makes. If my reputation causes you to undervalue me this much. Just go ahead and release me from my @Ufc contract altogether. I’m sure some promoter somewhere will be more than happy to pick me up."

He wants out and is mega pissed. Link to full twitter rant

I think either Bellator or ONE Championship would like him to be on their roster.

The ufc would hold onto Jones contract until he’s in his mid 40’s before releasing him

Ask Nick Diaz on that topic of getting a contract release.

@pie2munch

Why would they keep Jon Jones when they only seem to want to shove no-talent hacks like Conor McGregor down everyone's throat?

@tepid cause dana don't want anyone else to cash in on Jones until the UFC decides he's too old.

@free

I think the UFC should let fighters like Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov out of their contracts, so they can go to promotions that actually treat MMA as a sport, then the UFC can devolve into pro-wrestling and no one would care.

Yep ..Ooh is Jones deluded enough to think he can really box?
He was talking Deontay money but spelled dudes name wrong lame.
I'd pay to see Wilder rip Jones in half with one of his epic running kos :>!

I don't think he was comparing boxing skill though. Just star power. Personally I think they should give him more money to fight Nganou. ******* fight would be epic. Loosen your purse strings dana.

Yeah probably right and that fight would answer many questions.
Frank is or was a terrible wrestler Jon could take him down a lot.
Maybe hahaha there it is..

I’d be interested in what the real money deal was.

I’d like to see the fight.

Cry baby Jon (net worth 10 million)  —  "I don’t even make half of half of what Diante Wilder makes.“  (net worth 30.5 million)

So what, 10 million not enough?  Maybe get into boxing then..  I can’t stand a whining @ss *****, especially a rich one!

**** u Jon!

Jon Jones supposedly vacated the LHW Title and calls for Reyes vs Blachowicz for vacant title fight.

Jones has done so much damage to his own self worth.

Vacating and holding out isn't going to help it

Jones is a degenerate. After all this second third fourth and fifth chances he's been given he should show some gratitude. Typical narcissist.
