Jon Jones & Francis Ngannou Are Arguing On Twitter And Are Both Asking To Fight ASAP

UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones has often teased a jump to the Heavyweight division over the years, and now more than ever fans are clamouring for it to happen due to the emergence of Francis Ngannou and the potential for a Jones/Ngannou superfight.

Well following this exchange between the two on Twitter, it looks like the fight could soon be a reality. Here’s how it played out:

How real it seemed to you my friend?!#UFCJAX https://t.co/SUzdnXwSBk

Seemed so real Francis, all that power means nothing when your hay makers are too slow. I’m not most my friend https://t.co/co6uSqzRSm

No the truth is you would never agree to fight him. I feel like my talents are blessed by God, I have no reason to doubt my chin or abilities. https://t.co/T6sG9nsj29

If you think you can handle my technique level that’s fine 🤷‍♂️ but I agree with you that you don’t have anything to prove in LHW division and that this should be for bags 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 https://t.co/PtD04F3aSl

First you can save the rest of your tongue pictures for your other homies and yes I’m right here, just waking up from watching that Derek Lewis fight again. You ain’t scaring nobody, I saw your heart. You’re a big old mouse, I’ll expose you https://t.co/F6FEcc4mGE

Oh shit! Sounds like both these men definitely want each other for their next fight. Bizarrely though, when Dana White was asked about it, he said he wasn’t so sure they really do want to fight:

Well that’s weird. Is Dana White telling the truth or is it that he doesn’t want the fight to happen for whatever reason? Either way I hope they don’t end up teasing us for years and years and string us along only for nothing to happen.

If you ask any UFC fan, Jones/Ngannou has to be near the top of most-wanted fights people want to see. Jon Jones hasn’t had a big name opponent for a while, and Ngannou has been an absolute killing machine who has the potential to be a massive star (especially if he beats a legend like Jones). This is an absolute superfight in the making and I really hope Dana White gets over whatever his issue is and makes it happen. Maybe on Fight Island this summer?
