Jon Jones fulfilled each of his fan’s wishes upon becoming the UFC heavyweight champion. Moreover, the UFC heavyweight king became only the eighth fighter to become a champion in two weight classes. ‘Bones’ sent a sound message to the division by not looking rusty as he got the job done against Ciryl Gane inside round one.

Moreover, UFC fans dreamed of a different fight for Jon Jones‘ return. A fight against Francis Ngannou was regarded as one of the best heavyweight clashes in recent times. Some fans still wonder if they’d be able to see that fight. However, ‘Bones’ has given his opinion on the future fight against ‘The Predator’.

Jon Jones speaks of the potential fight against Francis Ngannou

The newly crowned UFC champion has spoken about a super fight with the former champion. Jones answered a question sent by Arena (@MMArena_), “Jon, do you think a fight against Ngannou can be possible in future ?”

‘Bones’ replied with his own tweet and bashed Ngannou. He wrote, “I highly doubt it, especially after that first performance. Like I said the dude left for a reason. Came up with every demand and request in the world. He knew that UFC wasn’t going to bend, he found his way out”.

It seems that ‘The Predator’ will not be returning to the UFC any time soon. A title shot against ‘Jonny Bones’ is also ruled out by the new heavyweight king.

Jones had also criticized the former heavyweight champion over not signing the contract. ‘Bones’ said in an interview, “If anyone should be criticized, it’s Francis Ngannou… He was offered the biggest contract in heavyweight history. He had the opportunity to be the guy to dethrone me. And he didn’t believe in himself. Francis didn’t believe in himself. He wasn’t willing to gamble on himself.”

Joe Rogan also believes that Francis Ngannou might not return to the UFC

The UFC commentator spoke on one of his podcasts about the topic of the UFC heavyweight championship. The podcast was released before UFC 285 and Rogan wanted the winner of Jones and Gane to face ‘The Predator’ inside the octagon.

The podcast host added, “In heavyweight, for me, Ngannou versus the winner of Jones and Ciryl Gane. That’s the biggest fight you can make. And that’s what I really hope. I hope Francis goes and gets some big-money boxing match. And God forbid, if he wins, will probably never see him.”

Both Joe Rogan and Jon Jones believe they might not see the former champion back in the octagon. What do you think will happen between the two? Let us know in the comments.
