UFC legend Jon Jones has been called out for a fight with Ciryl Gane after talks of a clash against Francis Ngannou fizzled out.
Jones, 35, has been preparing for a move to heavyweight for almost three years but is yet to debut in the weight class. The former pound-for-pound No.1, who recently hinted at his return by tweeting: "Champion 2023", hasn't fought since defending the UFC light-heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes in February 2020.
Ngannou, who currently holds the heavyweight title, is believed to be a free agent having not re-signed with the promotion after his contract expired last month. 'The Predator' claims to have lost millions by turning down new offers from the UFC and if he is to stay with the promotion, he wants a deal which would also allow him to box.
