However, after Francis Ngannou knocked out Stipe Miocic in the second round of their title fight rematch last month, negotiations between Jon Jones and the UFC quickly went sour.<\/p>\n
Dana White claimed that ‘Bones’ wanted $30 million<\/a> in order to step foot in the Octagon with \u2018The Predator\u2019, a notion that was immediately dismissed<\/a> by the former light heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n Despite the UFC President insinuating that a rematch with Derrick Lewis is the \u201cright fight to make<\/a>\u201d next for Francis Ngannou, that hasn\u2019t stopped the promotions reigning heavyweight champion from trading shots with Jones.<\/p>\n The pair traded verbal jabs online on Friday night which culminated in Jon Jones warning Francis Ngannou that he better knock him out in their proposed super-fight, otherwise he will end up broken.<\/p>\n Jones’ threat clearly amused Ngannou, as the reigning heavyweight champion replied with the following tweets mocking ‘Bones’.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/francis_ngannou\/status\/1388434941478948864<\/p>\n “Please don’t make me laugh<\/span>! When is the last time that you break somebody out?”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/francis_ngannou\/status\/1388436320012414978<\/p>\n “You’re a decision fighter <\/span>@JonnyBones <\/a><\/span>and you’ve barely won a fight lately. But you’re going to break me out.”<\/em><\/p>\n Ngannou’s comments, especially that of ‘Bones’ being a “decision fighter”, clearly struck a nerve with the pound-for-pound great in Jon Jones. The Albuquerque native fired back with the following barrage of messages.<\/p>\n A decision fighter? I carried the record for most submissions in the light heavyweight division for many years my friend. You are what we call a one trick pony @francis_ngannou<\/a> every champion I\u2019ve ever faced punched hard. I see right through you<\/p>\n — BONY (@JonnyBones) May 1, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Jon](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jon-Jones-.jpg\")
