Coach: Jon Jones is ‘serious’ about vacating belt, but could ‘come to a deal’ with UFC

Jon Jones isn’t happy with the UFC right now. Over the past few days, “Bones” has been butting heads with UFC president Dana White about the supposed fight with heavyweight Francis Ngannou.

The 32-year-old fighter went as far as demanding for his UFC release and relinquishing his 205-pound title. And according to his coach Mike Winkeljohn, Jones isn’t playing around.

“I think Jon is serious. He is really happy right now,” Winkeljohn told BJPenn.com. “He’s spent a lot of time with his girls and has matured. He’s focusing on taking care of his family and today he is cleaning up glass after the riots.
