Francis Ngannou Declares Jon Jones Fight the Ultimate Showdown

BREAKING: Francis Ngannou has made a bold statement, declaring that a potential fight with Jon Jones would be the “biggest fight of all time.” Speaking to TMZ Sports, Ngannou emphasized that if the UFC aims to host the ultimate showdown at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it must be between him and Jones.

Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, expressed his views while engaged in an online feud with Jake Paul. When asked whether a fight featuring Jones against Alex Pereira or himself would be larger, Ngannou confidently replied, “You know the answer. You don’t need me for that,” while flashing a smile.

The 39-year-old fighter stated, “The biggest fight of all time can only happen with Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. That’s all that I can say about that.” This statement comes as Ngannou continues to fuel excitement about a potential matchup that fans dream of, despite the complexities involved.

However, the prospect of this fight materializing remains a long shot. Since parting ways with UFC in January 2023, Ngannou’s relationship with UFC President Dana White has been strained. White has publicly committed to organizing the “greatest fight card ever assembled,” raising curious eyebrows about the possible inclusion of Ngannou and Jones.

As anticipation builds, the question remains: Could the UFC pave the way for this monumental clash? Ngannou’s enthusiasm suggests he is ready, but fans are left wondering if the UFC can bridge the gap between Ngannou and White to make it happen.

In addition to discussing his dream fight, Ngannou addressed the recent controversial bout between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, which ended in an eye poke. When asked if he wants to see a rematch, Ngannou’s response hinted at his ongoing engagement with the sport despite his own hiatus from the UFC.

This developing situation is bound to keep fans on the edge of their seats as they await updates on the possibility of this historic fight. Will the UFC act on Ngannou’s vision? Stay tuned for more details as they unfold!
