Ngannou Declares Mega-Fight with Jones Biggest in History

According to former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, a potential fight between himself and Jon Jones would be the "biggest fight of all time," overshadowing the rumored Jones vs. Alex Pereira super fight.

Ngannou, who is now the PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Champion, has been vocal about his desire to fight Jones in the past. The current UFC heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall, had previously spoken about how Jones had "ducked" Ngannou when the latter was still in the UFC. Jones also seemed to avoid fighting Aspinall, choosing instead to fight Stipe Miocic before retiring from competition. However, 'Bones' now appears keen on returning to action, with Pereira as a potential target for the upcoming UFC White House event.

When asked by TMZ Sports which fight would be bigger - Jones vs. Pereira or Jones vs. Ngannou - the former UFC star was unequivocal in his response. "Biggest fight of all time can only happen with Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou," he stated, adding that the fight would only be possible at the White House event. Ngannou showed respect for all fighters, regardless of their placement on the card, but maintained that his fight with Jones would be the biggest draw.
