If Jon Jones wants to relinquish the light heavyweight title and walk away from the sport, that’s his decision, according to Dana White.

The UFC president issued a brief statement to the Canadian Press on Monday after Jones tweeted that he planned on vacating the 205-pound belt. Jones’ threat was the latest salvo in a public dispute regarding negotiations for a potential superfight with heavyweight Francis Ngannou.
