“I gave up the light heavyweight belt and gained a lot of weight. Now, are people saying I'm scared? (…) I have been working hard to gain muscle mass. I never lost a fight. Now, suddenly, I'm scared. What nonsense,” wrote 'Bones'.
At the press conference after the UFC 260, White questioned whether Jones would actually want to face Ngannou. At the time, the 'big boss' stated that the North American should show more desire and not speak out on social media.
“If anyone is wondering if I want this fight (against Ngannou), the answer is 'yes'. I want to get paid too,” Jon posted.
Absolute light heavyweight legend, Jones hasn't fought since February 2020. In the clash, the athlete ended up making the last title defense of his old belt, when he tapped Dominick reyes.
I quit the light heavyweight division, literally gained a massive amount of weight. And now people are saying I'm afraid? Everyone but me claiming that I'm afraid. All I asked was to get paid.

If anyone is wondering if I really want to fight, the answer is yes. I also really want to get paid.
