in addition, according to Jones, the problem with payments is not only its. “Yeah, maybe when you have millions of dollars you seem greedy when you ask for more, but that’s not it. I feel that I have the opportunity to influence the situation. Most of the guys are deprived of such privilege. They can’t publicly declare my second job of debt. I have friends who live in the hall because they did not have enough money for rented apartments. And this is also the UFC fighters,” added Jones.
Jones had a conflict with the head of UFC Deyna white. The latter stated that American wants to American heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder.
