‘Conor McGregor Wants Big Money’- Jon Jones Blasts Fans for Insulting Him After UFC 260

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones went ballistic on Twitter after UFC 260 wrapped up in Las Vegas. Francis Ngannou is the new heavyweight champion of the world, and his win was both terrifying and electric in equal amounts. ‘The Predator’ flatlined Stipe Miocic in the second round and robbed the consensus heavyweight GOAT of his consciousness.

Following Francis Ngannou’s blistering KO win, the entire MMA community came out and gave their instant reaction. Dana White went so far as to say that Jon Jones should move down to 185-pounds after seeing Ngannou’s performance. Chiefly Jon Jones didn’t take too kindly to those comments and wasn’t pleased with fans and fighters doubting him.

‘Bones’ Jones was sure to clarify that it was money-related issues that forced him to delay his move to heavyweight. In fact, Jones pointed out that he wouldn’t have bulked up all the way to 245 pounds if he wasn’t serious about fighting at heavyweight. Chiefly, the consensus MMA GOAT is looking to receive the ‘Conor McGregor’ money in his bank account.

It’s clear that Jon Jones is insulted by the way the MMA world is questioning his intention to fight heavyweights like Ngannou. It appears as though once he’s able to get a lucrative deal with the UFC, he’ll sign the dotted line. Until then, fans will have to keep chomping at the bit for a Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou match-up.

Francis Ngannou: What’s next for ‘The Predator’

As mentioned earlier, the fight to make for Ngannou as it stands is against Jon Jones. However, UFC President Dana White has also opened other doors. White is keen to rematch Francis Ngannou against fellow heavyweight KO artist, Derrick Lewis.

Although both men faced off in a lackluster battle, there’s still plenty of intrigue for a rematch. In fact, both men have added major strides to their game and it will probably be a head-on collision if they were to rematch. Furthermore, a rubber match against Stipe Miocic is also an option once he clears his medical.
