There is no proof. ​

Pico hid. Never Stepped Up, for 3 years, ducking every HW contender. Some GOAT.

Took a decade to move up too lol.
Waited for everyone worth a damn to leave sir.

You have proof that Jones had come to an agreement to fight Ngannou? Can you show me? How much money did Jones agree to?

This response reminds me of the Chapelle show skit with the R. Kelly pissing court case and the burden of the proof being on the state.

 

[StonedLemur]

I have my moments big dog lol.

 

[svmr_db]

someBODY please!

 

[El Fernas]

No such thing, but Jones posted about more money then, its all talk, no one posts actual numbers and actual fight offers signed.

if nganou never left the two of them would eventualy fought each other
sad thing nganou knows hes gonna lose might as well try his luck in boxing
hes fighting 1-0 guys next in pfl

 

[nonoob]

we've been provided enough information to indicate that Jones had already come to an agreement with the UFC.
Im not sure why you seem to be so convinced Jones didn't want this fight in spite of all the evidence showing otherwise.

Who, and where, was ANY such information given?
​

PPV sales for ANY jbj HW fight would have been incredible. Pico Never Stood Up.

Ngannou himself said that this was the contract he was presented with by the UFC.

someBODY please!

That would've been fun in my trippin days lol.

It doesn't work like that.

It's like poker. The cards are face down.
Maybe you got bluffed, maybe you didn't, you don't know.

8-10million wasn't enough to fight Francis. - Jon's own words.

Thats all we know.

Then Francis left and Jon was finally bulked up enough for that 2013 HW run.

Francis left then Jones was finally bulked up enough, nice. Ha

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

He is just asking for as much money as he can for the superfight. Guys got bills to pay and a family to feed

bills to pay and family to feed? more like prescriptions to pay and a drug habit to feed.

 

[Luthien]

Francis left then Jones was finally bulked up enough, nice. Lmao

I mean you could easily twist that around? Maybe Jones was bulked up and finally at last ready, causing Francis to leave?

 

[Steve Fox]

The more this is discussed I am starting to believe that Ngannou ducked under the terms presented, Jones ducked under the terms presented and the UFC fucked up on the terms offered.

Pretty sad attempt at trying to be like Dana, it's really not that hard.

True, I find that there's evidence to the contrary though. Lol

knows he's going to lose to Jon Jones who has NEVER fought anyone like Ngannou, but "might as well try his luck in boxing" where he's FOR SURE going to get destroyed? yeah, that makes no sense.

Don't even try to reason with him, it's a waste.

Quite possibly. I was just trying to get beyond speculation. The timeline is just so odd to me. Frank is active, Jon is scarce for over 3 years. Frank is stripped of his belt and released, Jones vs Gane is announced the same day. Jones shows up in March looking like he's been ready for the last 2 years. What makes it all the more interesting to me, besides not getting to see the big HW matchup, is that Ngannou has made statements expressing what he was trying to accomplish for himself and other fighters, while Jones and White have made assassination attempts of his character.
