Provoked by the new world heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou responded, but believes that it will probably be impossible for him to face Jon Jones in MMA.
“Good job Jonny Boy. Sincerely, The King of Heavyweights. » In his own way, Francis Ngannou had congratulated Jon Jones on his victory over Ciryl Gane, which had allowed the American to recover the title of world heavyweight champion. A belt left vacant by Ngannou, in conflict with the UFC…
Jones reacted by insulting the Franco-Cameroonian, and he provoked him again in recent days, believing that a fight between him and Ngannou would probably never take place. “I strongly doubt the possibility of this fight, especially after my last performance. Like I said before, he left for a reason. He arrived with all possible requests and requests. He knew the UFC wouldn’t agree to his terms, he found a way to get away.”swung Jon Jones.
I highly doubt it, especially after that first performance. Like I said the dude left for a reason. Came up with every demand and request in the world. He knew that UFC wasn’t going to bend, he found his way out https://t.co/dxgr6D5v8g

Questioned by ESPN, Ngannou mentioned the case of the American. “For three years I tried to fight Jon Jones, he assures. Jdid everything to get this fight. I wanted this fight, but not at any price. »
Ngannou assures that it is not because of a lack of will on his part that the clash did not take place. “There is not a fight on Earth that I would back down from. I would go there and whatever happens, happens. It’s sports. Jon Jones is not ‘the’ guy. He may be the best fighter of all time (he’s nicknamed that, editor’s note), but he’s not the guy I’m going to run away from. No. Not him. I would fight Jon Jones twice a month,” confides Ngannou, who will turn to boxing for his next fights.
