Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre has advised Jon Jones to remain patient in ongoing negotiations with the UFC, claiming that ‘Bones’ deserves to fight Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight title.
Jones vacated the light heavyweight title last year when he announced that he would be moving up to the heavyweight division, but UFC president Dana White is adamant ‘Bones’ will never compete at heavyweight and that Derrick Lewis is next in line to fight Ngannou for the title.
St-Pierre, however, feels it makes more sense for Jones to fight Ngannou and that the former light heavyweight champ should sit out and wait for his title shot.
