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.
