Read our privacy policy Francis Ngannou hit out at a ‘fat’ Jon Jones on Saturday, as the heavyweights attended the PFL vs Bellator event in Saudi Arabia. PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira knocked out Bellator title holder Ryan Bader in 21 seconds, establishing himself as Ngannou’s next MMA opponent. “If I had to personally put my money on it – not that I gamble – I would put it on Anthony Joshua, but I am rooting for Francis.” Upon hearing Jones’s prediction, Ngannou booed and shouted: “You’re losing your money!” Jones, a light-heavyweight great in the UFC, has not fought since winning the promotion’s heavyweight title. However, “Bones” vowed on Saturday to return to action and beat Miocic, interim champion Tom Aspinall, and Ngannou – to which the latter said, “In your dreams”, before calling Jones “f***ing fat”.
