Dana White polemicized about a possible fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou in the UFC and made it clear who would be the winner of the fight
Dana White created a great controversy when evaluating a confrontation between Jon Jones It is Francis Ngannou at the UFC. In a strong statement, the Ultimate Fighting manager made it clear that Bones would not have any kind of difficulty against the former heavyweight champion. In addition, the businessman even hinted that the Cameroonian had fled the fight against the American for about two years.
In Dana White’s view, Ngannou would be defeated by Jones with certain ease and an example of his theory was proven at UFC 285. This is because, in the understanding of the Ultimate Fighting leader, Francis had problems with Gane when both met forces in January 2022 At the time, the former champion could have lost the belt to Ciryl and, therefore, the possibility of Bones beating the Cameroonian in a possible confrontation would be great.
I’m not interested right now (in that fight). I tried to do this fight for two years. He didn’t want the fight. Do you know what I mean? He didn’t want the fight. He left here without even having another deal done. And I know what the boxing world is like. it’s crazy“, said Dana White about a possible fight between Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones.
“But Francis didn’t want to do that. I tried to make this fight for two years, and let me tell you something. I think a lot of other people feel that way. I think that’s exactly how the fight would have gone if (Ngannou) had been there too. He and Ciryl fought a five-round war (at UFC 270 in January 2022). If Ciryl didn’t go for that submission, Ciryl would probably win that fight at the end of the fifth round“, he completed.
It is worth noting that Jon Jones is the current UFC heavyweight champion and won the belt right on his debut in the category. In several other interviews, Bones has already warned that he seeks his best version to become the best MMA fighter of all time.
