Schaub predicts potential Jones-Ngannou fight: 'He'll just knock him out'

Well-known analyst and former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub touched on the topic of a possible fight between the promotion's heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former title holder Francis Ngannou.

“I admit that I used to think that Jones would deal with Ngannou the way he did with Gun. However, after watching Francis fight Fury, I thought, “He’s going to beat Jon Jones.” I think Ngannou will get the better of Jones under MMA rules. He just knocks him out.

I didn't realize how good Francis was before. I knew he was a great fighter, but I didn't realize how talented he was - he is a world class boxer. It’s crazy,” Schaub said on his YouTube channel.
