Jon Jones thinks he has a finger on how his negotiations with the UFC for a fight against Francis Ngannou will ultimately play out.
So far, the prospect of a Jones/Ngannou superfight is not looking so good. Last week, Jon Jones asked for his release out of frustration of his treatment by the UFC and due to the displeasure of his relationship with UFC President Dana White. Jones deleted the tweets pleading for his release, but he recently expanded on his belief that he would be a better asset elsewhere in an interview published after those tweets surfaced. Jones also seemed indifferent to the possibility of Derrick Lewis swooping in and taking the Ngannou heavyweight title fight from him.
