Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is all set to make his debut in the heavyweight division and is all set to face the newly crowned UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Ngannou fought Stipe Miocic in the main-event of UFC 260, where he easily defeated Miocic in the second round to win the belt.

After Jon Jones decided he wanted to compete in the heavyweight division, UFC president Dana White announced that he would face the winner of the Ngannou vs Miocic fight.

Mike Winkeljohn’s views on the Fight

Mike Winkeljohn is one of the best MMA coaches in the world. He has coached many outstanding fighters, including Bones.

During a recent interview, Mike was talking about how he thinks Jones will handle a improved Ngannou.

Winkeljohn said, “He’s just so strong everywhere and he hasn’t lost any speed.

“Oh, I say, I expect Jon Jones to step the plate into the home run, there’s no doubt about it.”

Mike believes it is all about how much Jones establishes himself in the match. “You know what it’s about Jon imposing his will and fighting where he wants and where he does not want to want, he won’t be there in the fight.”

Jones is far more experienced than Ngannou, and his coach believes it will help him in the fight. He said.”So it’s all about Jon Jones mentality and how smart he is, he’s got the experience on Francis, there’s no doubt about that.”
