A heated argument between UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and promotion president Dane White has reached a stage where Jones has announced he is leaving the championship title, shocking fans.

But problems arose after he told ESPN that there would be no fight because Jones was asking for too much money.

Quarrels started through the media and Twitter. Jones accused White of lying, saying he did not say what amount of money he was asking, to which White only added that he possessed the messages they exchanged and could release them to the media.

Today, it happened that Jones asked for the termination of the contract for the second time, while White told the fans through the media to choose who to trust.

And he didn’t stop there, but Jones continued his addressing through the next post.

Now even more “tweets” of Jones have appeared, this time with even more serious intentions.
