| Ngannou’s Next Move: A Potential Showdown with Jon Jones |
|---|
| MMA fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the next move of heavyweight sensation Francis Ngannou. After his impressive performance against WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a recent boxing match, Ngannou is set to make his highly anticipated debut for the Professional Fighters League (PFL) early next year. While the opponent for Ngannou’s PFL debut is yet to be determined, there is one man that fans are particularly excited to see him face – the current UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. The electrifying encounter between Ngannou and Jones at a PFL event in June left fans craving for more. However, there are several obstacles that need to be overcome for this dream matchup to become a reality. One major hurdle is that both fighters are currently contracted to different MMA promotions. In a recent interview with DAZN, PFL Europe Head of Fighter Operations Dan Hardy discussed the potential for a Ngannou vs. Jones showdown. Hardy believes that for this fight to happen, there needs to be flexibility from UFC President Dana White, who holds the key to making it a reality. Hardy also highlighted the implications of such a matchup. If Ngannou were to defeat Jones, it would challenge the notion that the current UFC heavyweight champion is the best fighter in the world. This could have a significant impact on the prestige of the UFC belt and further validate Ngannou’s skills as well as the PFL as a top-tier MMA promotion. While Ngannou’s rise in the MMA world has been nothing short of extraordinary, Jones is a fighter who craves challenges. The face-off between the two fighters was nothing short of spectacular, with an electric atmosphere that left everyone in awe. However, Hardy believes that Jones will soon run out of worthy opponents if the Ngannou fight doesn’t materialize. As fans eagerly await Ngannou’s next move, the potential showdown with Jon Jones remains a tantalizing prospect that could redefine the landscape of heavyweight MMA. |
