Jon Jones
For years, Jon Jones has been linked to the biggest fights in mixed martial arts history. Even after announcing his retirement and vacating his heavyweight belt, his public appearances hint at one last great story. Few rivalries excite fans quite like a clash with Francis Ngannou. This epic duel seemed impossible after the powerful Cameroonian left the UFC. Now, surprising new comments have suddenly reopened that door.
Leaving The UFC Contract Is Very Possible
Jones recently watched Francis Ngannou score a dominant victory over Philipe Lins. While broadcasting, the former light heavyweight and heavyweight champion expressed serious interest in fighting Ngannou. To make it happen, he must exit his UFC contract first. He knows Dana White refuses to do business with Ngannou’s new promoters. As a result, finding a clear way out of his current deal is his absolute main focus. He believes breaking this agreement is highly achievable.
Praising The Cameroonian Champion And His Striking Skills
Jones closely analyzed Ngannou’s quick first-round knockout victory. While he felt the Brazilian opponent lacked the necessary kickboxing skills to truly test Ngannou, Jones still found the performance incredibly impressive. He specifically highlighted Ngannou’s technical evolution in striking. The former UFC star noted that Ngannou threw some excellent low kicks during the bout. This technical growth makes the potential mega-fight even more intriguing for fans across the globe.
Exploring A Surprising Future In Professional Boxing
Days later, Jones reinforced the idea of leaving the promotion, insisting it is entirely possible with the right effort and legal channels. Dana White quickly dismissed Jones returning for a rumored White House fight card, adding to the growing uncertainty. Now, Jones is actively considering pure boxing. He believes dedicating his complete focus to punching combinations and sheer hand power could truly shock everyone. He would absolutely love to box soon. When Jon Jones speaks about fighting again, the entire sports world listens closely to every single word.
