Jon Jones could make retirement U-turn for Francis Ngannou UFC return fight

Jon Jones would consider delaying his retirement for a potential UFC fight against Francis Ngannou.

Ngannou vacated the heavyweight title earlier this year and departed the UFC after failing to agree a new deal, which derailed the prospect of him defending his crown against 'Bones'. However the American was then thrust into a fight against Cyril Gane, which he won within one round to claim the belt that was previously abandoned by his rival.

Despite the Cameroon star's departure from the UFC, many have still suggested Ngannou should revisit the negotiating table and return for a big opportunity against new champion Jones. It will likely be the highest rewarding fight for the pair given their profiles and their unmatched pay-per-view draw within the top division.
