Jones tweeted Saturday that he was in agreement with Hager for a December bout for Fury Grappling. Hager quickly clarified he hadn’t signed, though he left the window open for a match if the “terms are right.”

Jones is one of the most accomplished fighters in UFC history but has not fought for the promotion since February 2020 due to a pay dispute and legal issues.
