"This is probably going to be crazy to a lot of people listening, but why is the UFC not giving Jon the respect he deserves financially? That's crazy to me. If anyone should be getting paid a lot in this sport, it should be Jon Jones for the stuff that he's done. And that's me saying that! After the history that I've had with Jon Jones."
"Watching this story unfold yesterday was very interesting. I have lots to say, but for now, Jonny boy, if you manage to get your freedom, then let me know. You deserve that $30M+ after everything you've done for the sport, and they should be rolling out the RED CARPET for you."
Jon Jones, a former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, is currently in dispute with the UFC following failed negotiations to appear on the Freedom 250 card at the White House. Dana White claims Jones was never scheduled to headline, while Jones maintains negotiations continued until Friday. The UFC announced the card headlined by Ilia Topuria versus Justin Gaethje, with Alex Pereira fighting Ciryl Gane for an interim heavyweight title. Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and Francis Ngannou have publicly supported Jones, criticizing the UFC's financial offer. Aspinall questioned why the promotion won't provide Jones adequate compensation, noting the UFC previously offered $30 million for a Jones fight. Ngannou echoed this sentiment, stating Jones deserves $30 million or more given his contributions to the sport.
