Jon Jones spent the immediate aftermath of the start of Francis Ngannou ’s heavyweight title reign making his case on Twitter to be next in line for a title shot. Less than two hours later, though, the former light heavyweight champion took his foot off the proverbial gas pedal and said Derrick Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) can get the first shot at Ngannou – provided the UFC doesn’t meet Jones’ financial requirements. “It’s OK, Derek (sic) can have the fight,” Jones posted in response to a Twitter user saying UFC president Dana White was using Lewis as leverage against Jones.
