Jose Aldo confident Jon Jones, UFC will reach deal for superfight, picks ‘Bones’ to beat Francis Ngannou

Jose Aldo knows exactly how Jon Jones is feeling right now.

“Bones” asked the UFC to “just f*cking let me go already” after company president Dana White implied that the former champion was asking for more money as a way of avoiding a fight with heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. As of right now, it’s still unknown if the UFC and Jones will come to terms for the megafight.

Aldo, who for years reigned over the featherweights in the UFC and the WEC, had previously reached a point of asking for his release from the promotion after realizing the UFC wouldn’t book a rematch between him and Conor McGregor after his second win over Frankie Edgar.
