He was moving up to fight francis and the UFC tried to make that fight for an entire year before giving up because the UFC and francis couldn't come to terms, hence jones vs Gane. you act as if jones made the decision to fight for the HW title AFTER Ngannou left. Jones moving to HW was pre-ordane from the day he relinqished his LHW title. When Jones made the decision to move up francis had the title. If you dont remember, the UFC had a huge problem getting francis to fight cyril gane too. Jones vs Francis had a small window of time to happen. and did not happen because of either francis or the ufc. (depending on who you think was being rational)Why did Jon only move up to heavyweight once Francis was gone and the belt was up for grabs? Its just like gsp moving up to MW the moment the weakest champion ever has the belt. That is cherry picking.
