If Ciryl Gane can get past Francis Ngannou at UFC 270 this weekend, he would welcome a fight with Jon Jones in his first title defence.
Interim heavyweight titleholder Gane will attempt to unify his belt against current undisputed champion Ngannou in the promotion's first pay-per-view of the year.
The champions briefly trained with each other at the MMA Factory in Paris, but Ngannou left the gym in 2018 after falling out with head coach Fernand Lopez.
