I think Jones will leave UFC

[m249viking]

You sure it's not min 2 million? That's what it said in a few articles I just googled. here's an extract:

"He proposed the PFL would guarantee a baseline salary for Ngannou's opponents, and an eventual figure of $2 million was agreed upon.

"Pete brought it up," Ngannou said. "He said, 'We can even guarantee you the minimum salary of your opponents.'"

Francis said? Yeah.....thats solid information to base an,opinion on.

I hate UFC but PFL is a second rate promotion. A goat like Jon Jones would never downgrade to PFL, not in the near future at least. If Ngannou weren't too greedy, he'd be taken care off and fighting Jones.
Ngannou is nearing 40 and can't find a fight since his departure.

after Stipe
And will fight Frank in PFL.
Then both will retire.

Nah Jones and UFC are good. I mean they even offered Fury a fight v Jones, tells you they are willing to work with Jones to give him what he wants (something they didn't seem willing to do with Francis.

We will see neither fight MMA in PFL

I think this is way more likely than Jones fighting in PFL.

I love what the UFC has done for the sport of MMA but they've gained entirely too much leverage. They've taking far too much advantage commanding the sport, it's time for some big names to leave the organization to add some balance.

He's been with the UFC for like 15 years, fought everybody there even when it wasn't sexy and never worried about other promos, just signed a new 8 fight contract, and just won a new belt.

But sure he's planning on leaving soon to chase Ngannou in PFL.

 

[checktheknuckles]

How do these contract thingies work? Complete mystery.

Good thing no one has ever breached a contract before.

 

[TrueBias]

We will see neither fight MMA in PFL

Agreed.

When he finally signed at PFL, I thought, hey, he made a decision finally....oh wait, no fight signed? No opponent? Next year, wtf?

This is all a waste of time. The interest is gone.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Considering he just signed a super long term deal with the UFC, he's not going anywhere unless UFC releases him.

 

[Sgt Smith]

Good thing no one has ever breached a contract before.

Sure, but then they get tied up in court not fighting.

 

[El Fernas]

How many fights does he have left? Thats the actual question if he could leave or not.

 

[Sivo The Ram]

you have to know the ufc would never let him out of his contract

 

[lsa]

Good thing no one has ever breached a contract before.

And how did that go for Randy?

 

[xhaydenx]

Francis said? Yeah.....thats solid information to base an,opinion on.

Haha I suppose, man. He's said it a few times now. I'd expect someone to have corrected him by now if there weren't some truth to it.

We'll see though, i guess.

 

[Brom Bones]

Wishful thinking.

"I think I'm going to bang Jennifer Lawrence and and shoot my kids all over her face by next year."

 

[Human Bass]

Nobody really cares about PFL, stop with the delusion. PFL just had a card yesterday that nobody gave a fuck

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Jones doesn't want any smoke from Ngannou unless he's started to believe Dana White and other people around him claiming Ngannou left to avoid Jones.... He's just posturing imo, he really wants people to believe that he actually wants to fight Ngannou.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

It will be a very sad day when Jones retires
Tears will be shed. Hearts will be broken.
He will be deeply missed.
His legacy will live on for thousands of years, maybe even an eternity.

Jones bless

 

[Asahi]

Zero chance. Jones is just posing.

 

[NoSmilez]

Jones ain't going to the PFL. He signed a multiple fight deal with the UFC.

 

[VenomCarnage]

after Stipe

He signed an 8 fight contract.

Shit thread.
