The MMA community was abuzz when both Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones recently expressed renewed interest in a potential fight.
However, that bout would have been easier to make — relatively speaking — when both heavyweights were under the UFC banner. Now, Ngannou is the biggest star in Professional Fighters League and the chairman of its soon-to-be launched African league. Meanwhile, Jones is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, but the clock is ticking on a potential unification bout with interim title holder Tom Aspinall.
