Francis Ngannou reignites interest in Jon Jones fight

Following his successful transition to the PFL, Francis Ngannou wants to solidify his claim to being the best heavyweight in the world with a cross-promotional super fight.

Many see Jon Jones as the top of the food chain; his latest performance only adds to those claims. Jones dismantled a 42-year-old Stipe Miocic with ease but now faces a real dilemma for his next outing.

'Bones' isn't ready to retire just yet, but instead of unifying the UFC heavyweight titles, he is hoping to handpick his next opponent.

Jon Jones has no interest in Tom Aspinall and made his thoughts clear in a post on X.

"Crazy how being called a 'duck' pays better than most of you internet tough guys will make in a lifetime," Jones said.

"Two fights in four years and still one of the biggest names in the sport? That's not ducking, that's winning."

"God's blessings hit different, stay mad."

In response to Jones' post, Francis Ngannou reinstated his interest in the fight.

"Blessings make haters uncomfortable," Ngannou responded. "But they can't change it."

"There's only one fight, the right fight that will multiply your blessings. Ngannou vs. Jones."
