After the victory in the second half against Stipe Miocic, Francis Ngannou is currently the champion at the Heavyweight weight class. It is likely that the next opponent of this Cameroon original puncher will be former Light Heavyweight Jon Jones, but because of the controversy about the remuneration, the progress of the match has not made much progress.
“Everyone wants the worthy remuneration,” Francis Ngannou shared his thoughts in an interview with MMAjunkie.
“Jon Jones has played MMA and contributed to the development of this UFC battle floor for a long time. I think nothing is wrong when he requires a raise. But this I can't attend, now I just hope this match can take place.”
Anyone can see the glove between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou will be the most attractive match in 2021, if it becomes a reality. In terms of strength, nunnou is the strongest person in UFC, but in terms of competition techniques, Jones is the one who makes many boxers wary.
“Jon Jones is definitely a hand with more tricks and techniques in antagonism than Stipe Miocic. However, I'm not sure that Jones is more dangerous than Stipe,” Ngunnou commented.
In addition, Tan Vuong Francis Ngannou also hopes Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou will take place in Africa, where UFC has never set foot.
Currently this tournament has 3 champions from Africa, Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya and Francis Ngannou. In 2019, UFC President Dana White once revealed that the possibility of UFC will hold an event in Africa, but so far there has been no further information.
