Former UFC Champion Francois Ngannou said the fight with the current heavyweight promotion belt holder John Jones quite real. At the same time, the fighter noted that the UFC made no special effort to organize the fight.
“Despite the fact that the fight is far from a final agreement, it is very possible that this will happen. We respect each other as athletes. We have rivalry. Everyone wants to know who the better, but we respect each other. He’s good.
I think the UFC needs to get to the bottom of it and get to the point where a lot can be done through a collaborative effort to give the fans what they want and make this fight happen. As soon as they understand this, everything will be in order, because all sides are ready for battle, except for one, — quotes the words of Ngannou MiddleEasy.
Ngannou (17-3 in MMA) defended the UFC heavyweight belt on January 22, 2022 and then negotiated extensively with the organization, during which the parties failed to reach an agreement. After that, the fighter left the promotion.
