The light heavyweight champion went on a Twitter rant today, starting off with announcing that he is negotiating with the UFC before quickly revealing that things didn’t go right.
Currently in negotiation with @UFC as we speak

Before even discussing numbers, the UFC was unwilling to pay more for the Francis super fight / for me to move to heavyweight. Said I could possibly earn more in pay-per-view buys.

Honestly no, not in the stage of my career. I could retire today. I’ve already done my job, I’ve given this company over a decade of entertainment. https://t.co/8V3iORDXAk

It’s been fun you guys, maybe I’ll see you all in a year or two.

Maybe when they’re ready to do better business I’ll come back, until then health fitness and family.

I should’ve worded that differently, I actually think these guys do great business. Right now things just aren’t where I want them to be.

There has been no comment from either Ngannou or the UFC as to the negotiations with Jones for the potential super fight.
