Jon “Bones” Jones posted several tweets this past weekend and wrote, “Veni, vidi, vici” to his lightweight strap. Jon Jones also claimed that he is unhappy with the money he received throughout his years fighting in the UFC. While Dana White has stated in the past that Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters of all time in UFC history, White has also stated that Jon Jones is not going to get anything close to $30 million for his next fight.

In one of his tweets this past weekend, Jon Jones explained that he has been underpaid throughout his years in the UFC, and appears to be done with the promotion. While Jon Jones has been one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in UFC history, his recent altercation with Dana White after the failed fight against Francis Ngannou has seemingly given Jon Jones a reason to exit the promotion he has dominated for years. It appears that Jon Jones has made up his mind and is willing to act on his threat of leaving the UFC.

However, Jon Jones seemed unhappy about the price he was being offered for the blockbuster fight against Francis Ngannou and has seemingly made up his mind of vacating the light heavyweight title if things do not change in next couple of days.
