Jon Jones was the first person to give birth to the speculations of a potential fight against Ngannou when he took to Twitter to tease a move to heavyweight. A possible heavyweight stint for Jones has been the subject of discussion in the past but it looks much more serious this time as the light heavyweight champ started trading verbal jabs with Francis Ngannou soon after talking about a possible move to heavyweight. Jones even mentioned that he wants to capture the heavyweight title.
Will Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou’s online rivalry culminate in an Octagon battle?
A fight between two world class talents in Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou is surely something the MMA community would love to see but UFC president Dana White isn’t really sure if the pair actually want to fight each other. At the UFC on ESPN 8 post-fight press conference, White said that igniting a rivalry on social media is one thing but getting that rivalry to materialize into a fight is a completely different ball game.
