Jon Jones: Dana White’s UFC 260 remarks ‘huge slap in the face,’ Derrick Lewis can have next title shot

Former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones continued to speak out against UFC President Dana White’s remarks toward him at the post-fight press conference for UFC 260, tweeting late into the night Saturday and Sunday morning as he called White’s tactics “a huge slap in the face.”

Upon hearing that Jones tweeted “show me the money” for a title fight against Francis Ngannou, White insinuated the ex-champ was afraid to face the newly crowned heavyweight champ. That led to a real-time exchange during the UFC 260 press conference between Jones and White, who’ve repeatedly sparred over money over the past year before making amends – and plans for Jones to vie for the heavyweight title.
