It was a shock to see Jones bathe Ngannou with reward, particularly given their rocky skilled relationship.
The Heavyweights circled one another in early 2020, however the promotion couldn’t match both fighter’s excessive wage calls for. As soon as Jones returned to energetic competitors, Ngannou exited UFC to make “life-changing cash” in boxing – leaving the potential largest battle within the promotion as only a dream.
Whereas Skilled Fighters League (PFL) co-owner Donn Davis has tried to make Jones vs. Ngannou as a co-promotion with UFC, UFC CEO Dana White has proven zero curiosity.
However, Ngannou is now on a seven-fight win streak in blended martial arts (MMA), and Jones is making his long-awaited return to competitors subsequent month at 309 inside Madison Sq. Backyard.
Ngannou believes Jones has a “50/50 shot” towards Stipe Miocic.
