UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones expressed his desire to share the octagon with former division leader Francis Ngannou, if the latter returns to the promotion.

Let us remind you that the UFC management has been unsuccessfully trying to organize a fight between Jones and interim titleholder Tom Aspinall for a long time.

“I’ve heard that Francis Ngannou is interested in UFC... Now we will talk. This will be a real super fight. A collision of champions, not just hype. He held the UFC title, I’ve defended mine for decades. Two kings from different roads. Not just one legend against a loudmouth who is in the spotlight now, but a clash of two true legacies.

This is the fight that truly adds something special to my story. At least, that’s how I feel,” wrote Jones on X.
