Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou
Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones is the talk of the town right now in the UFC. The talks began as soon as Francis Ngannou devastated Stipe Miocic in their rematch at UFC 260, last month. However, a major payment dispute with UFC President Dana White has caused a delay in the proceedings of the fight. Now that the Twitter war between Jon Jones and the UFC has settled down a bit, fight fans are expecting to see the high-voltage clash soon.
Speaking about this in the recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, UFC welterweight GOAT Georges St-Pierre revealed that both the fighters are afraid of each other. He justified it referencing the topic of how important success is to both the fighters. It is to be noted that both the fighters have never been finished in their respective careers.
‘Fighting, I’m sure, is important for them‘ – Georges St-Pierre
GSP was quoted as saying, “Yes, Jon Jones is afraid of Francis. And Francis is afraid of Jon Jones because if they would not be afraid, that’s mean they don’t care.” [via BloodyElbow]
GSP then said, “Fighting, I’m sure, is important for them. Success is important for them, and when you put it all on the line, it’s normal to be afraid. If the price is good, even though he’s afraid, regardless of how he feels, he will do the job. He will bite in his mouthpiece and do the job.” [via BloodyElbow]
Francis Ngannou has been on a knockout spree and looks more terrifying than ever. He sure does have the capacity to knockout Jon Jones, who has so far portrayed an iron chin in the light-heavyweight division.
And Jon, for his part, has been actively packing on the muscle. He looks insanely beefed up and his recent social media posts are a testament to that.
