Jon Jones Unloads On “F–king Liar” Dana White, Demands Release From UFC Contract (TWEET)

by

Well, this escalated fairly quickly.

The war of words between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou has become a negotiating war between Jones and UFC president Dana White. Jon and Francis have been trying to set up a super fight, but Dana doesn’t want to do it because Jon was asking for too much money.

White responded by saying that Jones asked for an “absurd amount of money,” which Jones countered by calling those claims “absolute bullsh-t.”

Dana even stated Jones wanted “what Deontay Wilder was paid [to fight Tyson Fury in February]. I think it was $30 million.”

Jones has fired back in a big way on Twitter:

“Don’t be a fucking liar,” Jones tweeted … “My reputation has already taking enough hits. I don’t need this bullshit Dana.”

“I never asked for Diante Wilder‘s [sic] numbers. And how about since Diante is making 30 million, we settle for half of that. Since you said I’m the goat and everything.”

“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.”

“And if I wanted to compare money to someone else, I would compare money to my brothers.”

Don’t expect this exchange to end anytime soon.
