With a win over Stipe Miocic, Francis Ngannou made a staggering statement in the combat sports world. He overpowered the ex-champion in every department and claimed a win in the biggest fight of his career. Also, with this win, the long-discussed matchup between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou has come into the picture for obvious reasons.

Several bigwigs from the combat sports fraternity wish to see the two stars collide with each other in a perfect setting. Recently, in a fresh Hotboxin podcast, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson gave his own take on the same.

He said, “I think it’s going to happen, ludicrous if it doesn’t happen. This right now all comes down to money, right? You know, how can they do this they both under contract, do we do it under the UFC, or do we do it under this and pay! You know what do you do, how do you do this stuff?”

The recently crowned UFC heavyweight champ, Francis Ngannou, has himself been keen on fighting Jon Jones. He believes this is just the ideal time for them to battle each other out and determine the best heavyweight on the planet.

In the above statement, even ‘Iron’ Mike admitted that this fight has to come to fruition by any means.
