UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones sent a message of congratulations to Francis Ngannou following his quick victory against Renan Ferreira for his return to MMA. The Cameroonian dreams of facing him in the future.
Jon Jones enjoyed the show. Current heavyweight king in the UFC, the American didn’t miss anything from Francis Ngannou’s triumphant return to the octagon on Saturday. After almost three years of absence, and a highly publicized fight by English boxing, the Cameroonian star did not give details against the Brazilian juggernaut Renan Ferreira, whom he extinguished in just over three minutes, in Riyadh , in Saudi Arabia.
“What incredible work by Francis”
Now under the PFL banner, the man who left the UFC with a bang last year and his omnipotent boss Dana White, has won the “Superfight” championship belt of his new organization. Which doesn’t stop him from imagining any kind of challenge. As he had already told in an interview with RMC Sport, the “Pretador” reiterated his wish to face Jon Jones in what would be a fight of titans.
If he did not directly respond to the invitation, “Bones” was keen to congratulate Ngannou for his speedy victory by knockout. “What incredible work from Francis tonight. He showed the full range of MMA. Good kicks, great takedowns. It’s good to see him shine. Wow. Congratulations champion, I’ll be watching you,” he said. -he commented on his X account, before responding in his own way to a somewhat insolent Internet user.
“Ngannou would smoke you,” the latter told him. Jones’ retort: ”Of course, they all beat me until they’re in front of me.” While awaiting a possible five-star showing against Ngannou, Jones is currently preparing to defend his heavyweight title with an upcoming clash against Stipe Miocic on November 16 at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden in New York (at follow exclusively on RMC Sport).
