Francis Ngannou Says Fight W\/ Jon Jones Would Be Biggest Ever<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Ngannou\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost certainly a pipe dream \u2026 but if the UFC wants the biggest fight in the world for the White House event, it\u2019s Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou, according to the Predator himself!<\/p>\n

TMZ Sports spoke to 39-year-old Ngannou \u2014 in the midst of his online spat with Jake Paul \u2014 and asked the former UFC heavyweight champ which bout he thought bigger at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Jones vs. Alex Pereira, or Jones vs. himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know the answer. You don\u2019t need me for that,\u201d Francis said with a smile, implying the answer was him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest fight of all time can only happen with Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. That\u2019s all that I can say about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019d be the longest of long shots\u2026 as Dana White and Francis aren\u2019t exactly on good terms since Ngannou parted ways with the top MMA promotion in January 2023.<\/p>\n

That said, the UFC honcho has vowed to put on the \u201cgreatest fight card ever assembled,\u201d so \u2026 maybe?<\/p>\n

We also talked to Ngannou about the Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane<\/a> fight at UFC 321, which ended in a controversial eye poke.<\/p>\n

Does Francis want to see a rematch?! Check out the clip!<\/p>\n
