MMA fans around the world want a Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou matchup sometime in the future, but in a way, UFC president Dana White thinks the world has already seen it.
Since Ngannou and the UFC officially parted ways, White has dismissed the possibility of a reunion between the two parties. Friday in an interview with TMZ Sports, White expressed similar sentiments – but added Jones would likely handle Ngannou the way he did Ciryl Gane at UFC 285.
“I’m not interested (in that fight),” White said. “I tried making that fight for two years. He didn’t want the fight. Do you know what I mean? He didn’t want the fight. He left here without even having another deal in place. And I know how the boxing world is. It’s crazy. But Francis didn’t want to do it.
