Something is happening in the ranks of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo has called it a career after defending his 135-pound strap for the first time, stating that UFC President Dana White “knows the number” that would make him reconsider the decision. Incumbent light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is goading the UFC to release him from his contract after preliminary negotiations regarding a move up to heavyweight to face Francis Ngannou were reportedly aborted when “Bones” asked for a bump in pay.
