Jon Jones’ frustration has not subsided as he continued to wonder why Dana White suggested he did not want to fight new heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
‘The Predator’ dethroned Stipe Miocic on Saturday night in Las Vegas with a frightening two round beat down to knock him out and claim the belt at UFC 260.
After four first round-finishes, Ngannou looked more composed and as complete a mixed martial artist we are likely to see with a clinical display which encompassed leg kicks and expert wrestling.
The Cameroonian seemed set to welcome former light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones to the division following his move up to heavyweight, yet it seems as though UFC boss White has other plans after jokingly suggesting ‘Bones’ should actually go down to 185lbs.
