Jon Jones doubles down on calls to be released from UFC: ‘Put your money where your mouth is’

Jon Jones and Dana White are still at each other’s throats.

Both men have gone back-and-forth in the media over the past couple of weeks due to a negotiation dispute, with ‘Bones’ accusing White of lying about how much money he requested for the Francis Ngannou bout.

White says Jones wanted $30 million for the matchup, but Jones claims he never requested a specific number.

Jones is now demanding that White release him from his contract after he accused the UFC president of tarnishing his name in public.

“The reporter asked Dana to show the text messages instead he gives a 55-second response talking about why would I lie,” Jones wrote.
