"To the light-heavyweight title — veni, vidi, vici," tweeted Jones, using the Latin phrase of "I came, I saw, I conquered," attributed to Julius Caesar.When a follower suggested he was hurting himself more than the UFC, Jones replied: "I hurt myself every time I walk out there and take a punch to the head and not feel my pay is worth it anymore."
He had been eyeing a super-fight with hard-punching Francis Ngannou, currently ranked second among heavyweight contenders, but said the UFC did not want to pay him enough. "Jon Jones can say whatever he wants publicly. It’s his God-given right here in America," he added. "He can say whatever he wants. And when he’s ready to come back and fight, he can."That drew a sarcastic Twitter response from Jones.
"At no point did I ever demand anything from you Dana, I simply asked for a super fight and asked to be compensated for it," he said in another tweet.
Roid rage!!!!
For a guy whose broke the rules of law multiple times I have a hard time with this. Time for the UFC to cut this guy for good
