JAKARTA - Francis Ngannou has been removed from the UFC heavyweight title. The Cameroon-France fighter did not renew his contract.

UFC president Dana White said Ngannou did not agree on new requirements in the proposed agreement.

In fact, White claims the contract offered will make Ngannou the "highest-paid heavyweight" in UFC history.

Unfortunately both parties failed to reach an agreement despite the long talks. Ngannou is now without ties and the heavyweight belt has been vacated.

This paved the way for MMA legend Jon Jones to return with victory.

White said Jones will return to the Octogon that many fans have been waiting for. He will compete for the heavyweight title against Gane in March.

News of their clashes leaked earlier this week but has now been confirmed.

Jones, now 35, has not fought in the UFC since the February 2020 fight. At that time, he defeated Dominic Reyes with a controversial victory.
