Read our privacy policy Francis Ngannou has played down the chances of a huge heavyweight clash with Jon Jones, saying the American seems more interested in trading words online than trading exchanges in the UFC. “I think the first thing we have to know is if Jon Jones is going to fight or not,” Ngannou told Bruce Buffer on the UFC announcer’s IT’S TIME podcast. “Because actually, he finds himself a better battle on Twitter than in the Octagon.” Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones Ngannou, 35, has been involved in his own contract dispute with UFC president Dana White and has expressed an interest in a boxing match-up with WBC champion Tyson Fury. “We’ve been having one title defence in the heavyweight division for a long time, so I don’t think that’s the issue.” Prior to his victory over Gane in January, Ngannou last competed in March 2021, knocking out Stipe Miocic in the second round to take the heavyweight title from the American.
