Saint Pierre thinks Jones should look forward to fighting Ngannou

Legendary Canadian MMA fighter George St. Pierre expressed his opinion that the former light heavyweight king Jon Jones should not settle for any other heavyweight fight other than the title one.

“I think Jones needs to fight the champion, not Miocic. He should fight Ngannou. It's like a chess game, you make big and big decisions. If you beat someone, this does not mean that you will always win, even if the odds are in your favor. Jones will make a mistake if he takes the fight against Miocic.

"I think Jones will defeat Stipe, but why risk it when you can wait and face the champion? In case of victory, he will receive the second title, after which he can go into the sunset as the greatest fighter of all time. His shares will be higher than anyone else's in history. Another world will open up for him. He can do whatever he wants,” said St. Pierre on the Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast.

In April, Jones said that he was offered $10 million for a fight against Francis Ngannou, but he considered this purse too small.
