UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones announced 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 long been unsuccessfully trying to organize a fight between Jones and the interim champion Tom Aspinall.

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

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