Francis Ngannou Indicates Jon Jones Doesn’t Deserve to Be Considered “The Number One Heavyweight” – I Am The Real King!

Francis Ngannou throws down the gauntlet, declaring he’s the most dangerous heavyweight fighter alive—and Jon Jones? Not even close to his level! Find out why Ngannou is demanding the UFC Heavyweight Championship and what he says about Jones’ true place in MMA history. Is the future of the heavyweight division really in Jones’ hands, or is Ngannou about to rewrite the rulebook?

Ngannou Speaks Out About the UFC Heavyweight Championship Title

One week after the Jon “Bones” Jones vs. Stipe Miocic fight, Francis Ngannou, “The Predator,” made bold statements about the legitimacy of the UFC Heavyweight Championship. In an interview with TMZ, Ngannou declared he is the most dangerous heavyweight fighter alive, not Jon Jones. While he acknowledged Jones’ achievements, Ngannou firmly stated that Jones cannot be considered “the greatest heavyweight of all time.” He believes that if they were to face off, he would be the rightful owner of the championship belt.

Ngannou’s Dominance in PFL and Bellator

Ngannou currently holds a dominant position in both PFL and Bellator. The Cameroonian fighter is not shy about sharing his strong opinions: “Both of us want to fight, and it would definitely be an exciting matchup.” Although he has never faced Jones in the ring, Ngannou confidently asserts his right to the heavyweight title, claiming that it should belong to him. However, the prospect of a future showdown seems increasingly unlikely due to factors such as contract negotiations and opponent selection, which remain unresolved.

Jon Jones and His Current Concerns

While Ngannou asserts his place as the top contender, Jon Jones has his own concerns at the moment. Reports suggest that Jones is considering a challenge from Tom Aspinall, who currently holds the UFC Heavyweight Interim Championship. There are even rumors that Jones could face Alex Pereira, the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Ngannou explains that for Jones, money is the key motivator for any future fights, while Aspinall is driven by a burning desire to challenge Jones for the unified heavyweight title.

Ngannou’s Future and the Landscape of PFL

At present, Ngannou’s next opponent remains uncertain. However, he is closely monitoring the situation in PFL, where the heavyweight playoff final between Denis Goltsov and Oleg Popov will take place soon. While PFL is growing, it still lacks the heavyweight fighters with the big names that UFC has. Ngannou hopes that his move to PFL will bring fresh energy to the promotion, but it remains to be seen how quickly the PFL can challenge the UFC in the heavyweight division.
