Jon Jones Is NOT Stuck In The UFC

Tyron Woodley believes Jon Jones can legally maneuver his way out of the UFC to fight Francis Ngannou — but Chael Sonnen says the entire premise is wrong from the start. According to Chael, Jon Jones is already free to fight Francis right now. Chael breaks down why he believes the UFC’s leverage over Jon is largely a bluff, why Francis Ngannou isn’t actually signed where many people think he is, and why the biggest obstacle to the fight may not be contracts at all. There’s also a fascinating business discussion about how the UFC views Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, Francis Ngannou, and Alex Pereira — including why the company would rather “pass the torch” to a long-term asset than risk building up a fighter they don’t control. Chael also questions whether Francis truly wants the Jon fight, why Tyron Woodley’s legal advice missed the bigger picture, and why Jon vs Tom Aspinall quietly failed to become the blockbuster fight everyone expected. The biggest takeaway? Chael believes Jon vs Francis could happen immediately… if both sides actually wanted it #UFC #JonJones #FrancisNgannou #TomAspinall #MMA #ChaelSonnen 0:00 Tyron Woodley’s advice to Jon 0:40 Jon’s surprising response 1:20 Tyron offers legal help 2:00 “Jon doesn’t need anything” 2:40 Did Jon and Francis ever want this fight? 3:40 The misunderstanding about Francis 4:08 Why Francis could just go to the UFC4:40 “The UFC bluff” explained 5:00 Jon vs Francis vs Tom Aspinall5:42 Why Jon vs Tom lost momentum 6:08 The UFC’s REAL gamble 6:50 “Francis doesn’t want to fight” 7:20 Why the UFC passed on Ronda/Gina 8:00 The importance of “passing the torch” 8:40 The leverage nightmare with Francis 9:00 “Everyone is wrong except me” Bad Guy Inc merch now available at Click here to subscribe: Follow me on IG: Follow me on Twitter: Follow me on Threads
