Ngannou: "I'm still the best heavyweight in the world."

PFL heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has expressed confidence that he is capable of defeating UFC belt holder in the same category Jon Jones.

"Jon Jones is good. But I'd beat him. I'm still the best heavyweight in the world. Jon has been great for a long time, but he's not a heavyweight. So I reserve the title of best heavyweight in the world for myself. But we can challenge him," Ngannou said in an interview with TMZ Sports.

Recall that on November 16 at UFC 309 Jones held the first defense of the title in the heavyweight division, knocking out Stipe Miocic.
