UFC president Dana White says it’s up to light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones whether he wants to walk away from the sport.
Jones, 32, made other headlines Sunday when video showed him taking away spray cans from two youths during civil unrest in Albuquerque, N.M., where he trains. Speaking after Saturday’s UFC show in Las Vegas, White said the fighter wanted “crazy” money, citing demands of US$15 million, $20 million and $30 million.“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.“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.
