Francis Ngannou Declares Jon Jones Fight the Ultimate Showdown

UPDATE: Francis Ngannou has boldly proclaimed that a potential fight with Jon Jones would be the “biggest fight of all time.” In an exclusive interview with TMZ Sports, the former UFC heavyweight champion expressed his strong belief that this matchup would eclipse any other, including a potential bout between Jones and Alex Pereira.

Ngannou, who is currently involved in a high-profile online feud with Jake Paul, stated, “You know the answer. You don’t need me for that,” when asked about the significance of a fight against Jones. He smiled confidently, reinforcing his claim that only a clash between him and Jones could define the ultimate showdown in combat sports.

However, the reality of this dream fight hangs in the balance. Since parting ways with UFC in January 2023, Ngannou’s relationship with UFC president Dana White has been strained. Despite this, White has vowed to deliver the “greatest fight card ever assembled,” leaving fans to speculate if this monumental fight could still be on the horizon.

As fans eagerly anticipate future matchups, Ngannou also weighed in on the recent controversial fight between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, which ended in an eyebrow-raising eye poke. When asked if he wanted to see a rematch, Ngannou’s response is yet to be revealed, but the excitement surrounding the heavyweight division continues to grow.

With the MMA world buzzing over Ngannou’s statements, all eyes will be on potential negotiations and announcements from the UFC. Will Ngannou and Jones find a way to settle their differences and face off in the octagon? Fans and analysts alike are watching closely as this story develops.

Stay tuned for more updates on this potential mega-fight that could redefine the landscape of mixed martial arts.
