Jon Jones‘ return to the UFC has been eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide. His move to the heavyweight division has added even more excitement to the mix. Many were hoping that his first fight back would be against the former heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, but unfortunately, contractual issues got in Ngannou’s way.

Jones is now going to fight the #1 contender in the heavyweight division, Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title. Despite the fact that Jones and Ngannou are not going to face each other in the octagon anytime soon, the two did have a few exchanges on Twitter.

Francis Ngannou replies to Jon Jones’ tweet

Jones took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the Francis Ngannou situation. He referenced an interview where Ngannou claimed to be the undisputed champion since no one had beaten him. “I found an interview of Francis talking about he’ll forever be the undisputed champion because no one beat him. Once I saw that my tone changed. I thought I would tell how I really felt. He did make the right decision, he left before I came back. Smart move,” said Jones.

In a reply, Ngannou was quick to point out the inconsistency of Jones‘ statement, reminding him of an old quote. Ngannou re-shared Jones’ old quote about Daniel Cormier, where he claimed that as Daniel Cormier had never beaten him and that he could never be the light heavyweight champion.
