The victory of Francis Ngannou No. UFC 260 started an ancient 'war' within Ultimate. Provoked by the president of Ultimate after the 'giant's' triumph over Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones he did not take kindly to the president's statements and began speaking out against the company on social media. The athlete again alleged a possible lack of recognition from the organization.

“I've heard how much the company is growing a year later and I see myself in the same place. I worked and did my part. I have completely transformed and now I face a wall. It’s very discouraging,” he wrote.Bones', at the 'Twitter'.
Considered by many to be the best fighter of all time, Jones gave up the light heavyweight title (up to 93kg) to test himself in the 120,2kg category. Since August 2020, the North American has been showing off his process of gaining muscle mass to face, on an equal footing, one of the most feared groups in all of MMA.
Months ago, the former champion heard from Dana White himself that he would be the opponent of the winner of the clash between Ngannou and Miocic. after the UFC 260, however, the president changed his speech and admitted that Derrick Lewis can take on the role of challenger.
Along with talking about Francis' next opponent, the 'boss' teased 'Bones'. On occasion, the manager suggested that Jones, instead of moving up to heavyweight, go down to middleweight (up to 83,9kg), to avoid a possible encounter against the 'giant', who ran over Miocic in the second round. White's speech provoked Jon's anger, which started a 'war' against his boss and the UFC.
Absolute light heavyweight legend,'Bones' has not performed since February of last season. The clash marked the North American's last title defense, when he defeated the then undefeated Dominick reyes. Months later, the athlete gave up his belt.
I always hear about how much the company is growing yet one year later I find myself in the same spot. I put in the work, I've done my part. I have completely transformed myself and now I meet a brick wall.. how discouraging
