UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Next Big Thing Francis Ngannou recently bickered on Twitter and agreed to fight, in theory.
"If you guys think I wouldn’t take this fight you’re insane," tweeted Jones. "I have absolutely nothing else to prove as a light heavyweight. I’d love that big money fight right around now. Send the deal."
“Anything’s possible,” replied White. “I don’t know if those guys really want that fight. Let me tell you this - and I’m not saying this is the case with these two - you see a lot of talk online but actually making fights is whole other ball game.”
I would love to see N'Gannou and Jones go at it - Jones wouldn't take it though. He would ask for an unreasonable amount of money. That would be his way of saying he was willing to fight, but the UFC wasn't willing to pay him. Dana, please pay Jones whatever he wants so we can see him get put to sleep!!
Ngannou doesn't even hit Jones clean. Unfortunately, he is not gonna be the one to finally smack that fucker down. Stipe can do it. Maybe Adesanaya edges out decision, but besides those two, I don't see anyone doing it. Maybe DC. That's it. I think the DC boat as sailed though...

The last two guys to fight him can do it, and some feel they already did.

If there is anything I learned from watching MMA its that anyone can get hit. Jones is not as fast as he used to be, he hasn't looked as sharp in his past few fights. The Predator can absolutely hit him and the special thing about him is, he only needs to touch you once and its over. Jones would literally have to run the entire fight. I would love to see this match up.
But seriously, this Francis stuff is BS. If Jon was gonna go to HW why the hell would he fight Francis without a championship?? Stipe has the title and is a better match up imo. So in other words, this ain’t happening. Jon’s just bored and woofin on Twitter.
