After the controversy from UFC, Francis Ngannou found a new stop. He officially joined PFL in May. To successfully recruit Ngannou, PFL had to compete with many other big tournaments such as Bellator and One Championship. They also give nunnou more incentives than other boxers.
During the recently held PFL 5 event, Ngunnou appeared as a guest. However, one thing that no one expected was that Jon Jones also appeared at PFL 5. The reigning champion and the former UFC championship met. They have an unofficial face, and that warmed the whole stage.
Contrary to the previous offensive statements, Ngannou and Jones had a fairly mild face. They just stood in front of each other and smiled, and there were a few social words. The two sides do not have any scuffle or loudly like the meetings of many other talented fighters.
On the sidelines of the PFL 5 event, both nunnou and Jones claimed to be the head of the Heavyweight weight class on the MMA battle floor. While nunnou said he had been waiting for a fight with Jones for 3 years, before leaving UFC, Jones also said they would have met if the nunnou was still attached to this tournament.
In the next few months, Jon Jones will enter the journey to protect the UFC Championship Heavyweight. Jones's opponent is Stipe Miocic, who has lost to Ngunnou in the past. Miocic is considered one of the best boxers in UFC history, but he has turned 40 years old and is no longer in the top form.
