Jon Jones has one of the best resume in UFC. The former light heavyweight champion has taken on several fighters who were claimed to be scary and has defeated them proving everyone wrong. It is completely absurd that people claim that ‘Bones’ is scared of Francis Ngannou.

This is no dig at Ngannou or his skills. Ngannou is one of the most feared fighters in the division and has knocked some of amazing fighters. ‘The Predator’ is the hardest striker in the game and it is deadly to standup against him. Francis Ngannou is coming off a victory against Stipe Miocic.
