After talks seemingly came to a halt between Jon Jones and the UFC, it appears that there is a future heavyweight title fight being scheduled, although nothing is official as of yet. Former heavyweight title challenger and now contender Derrick Lewis was a guest on the Helwani Show podcast on ESPN on Wednesday and revealed that he has secured an upcoming title fight against defending champion, Francis Ngannou.

Do you believe we will see Francis Ngannou face Derrick Lewis next?

He needs half of spring and the entire summer to get ready? Divisions still get held up even when they’re not

Good. He deserves it.

Dude looked trimmed down significantly in his last fight as well.
