MMA fans are clamoring for a Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou megafight, but Dana White says there's nothing to see there, cause the new heavyweight champ would demolish 'The Predator' like he did Ciryl Gane at UFC 285!
... when White was asked if he could foresee any situation where he'd welcome Ngannou back to the UFC and make the Francis-Jon fight."I tried to make that fight for two years. He didn't want the fight. Know what I mean? He didn't want the fight, and he left here without even having another deal in place. And, I know how the boxing world is, it's crazy, but Francis didn't want to [fight Jones].
Don't be too disappointed ... White says Francis almost certainly would've been easy work for the G.O.A.T. "Let me tell you what, I think, a lot of other people feel this way, I think that's exactly the way the fight would've gone if [Ngannou] was in there, too." Of course, Jon made Ciryl look like light work at UFC 285 ... taking him down and forcing a tap out in a shade over 2 minutes."[Francis] and Ciryl had a five-round war, and if Ciryl doesn't go for that submission, Ciryl probably wins that fight. At the end of the 5th round there."
FYI, Ngannou won their UFC 270 scrap in January 2022 by unanimous decision, but it was a very close fight.
