Jon Jones doesn’t feel like he’s wanted in the UFC by Dana White. He would be happy to pack it up and go elsewhere if he was released from his contract, but still hopes to see a solution to set up a heavyweight title fight with Francis Ngannou. Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) has been extremely vocal about his situation since this past Saturday when Ngannou knocked out Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 to claim the belt. He’s posted long streams of Twitter messages about his dispute, which essentially boils down to the former light heavyweight champion wanting a better contract to move up in weight. He hasn’t waved from that position since announcing he would be changing weight classes this past summer, yet it doesn’t seem the UFC wants to meet his quota. Jones said this week that an off between $8 million and $10 million to fight Ngannou is “way too low,” and while he hasn’t revealed an exact asking price, “Bones” promises it’s nothing unreasonable
