Francis Ngannou Declares Jon Jones Fight Would Be The Biggest Ever

URGENT UPDATE: Francis Ngannou has just declared that a fight between him and Jon Jones would be the “biggest fight of all time.” Speaking with TMZ Sports earlier today, the former UFC heavyweight champion emphasized that if the UFC is looking for the most monumental bout for the upcoming event at the White House, it must be him versus Jones.

Ngannou, now 39 years old, responded with a confident smile when asked whether a potential matchup between Jones and Alex Pereira could rival his own. “You know the answer. You don’t need me for that,” he stated, clearly indicating that a fight with Jones is what the fans truly want.

Despite the excitement surrounding Ngannou’s comments, the reality is complicated. The two fighters have not been on favorable terms, particularly since Ngannou parted ways with the UFC in January 2023. UFC President Dana White has promised to deliver the “greatest fight card ever assembled,” but the likelihood of Ngannou facing Jones remains uncertain.

In addition to discussing the Jones fight, Ngannou weighed in on the recent controversial bout between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane at UFC 321, which ended amid a disputed eye poke. When asked if he desired to see a rematch, Ngannou’s response hinted at his ongoing engagement with the sport and its latest developments.

As the fight landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on potential negotiations between Ngannou and the UFC. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if this “pipe dream” could turn into a reality.
