Francis Ngannou and UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones faced off at a PFL event a few weeks ago. It seemed to be a friendly interaction between the two heavyweights. Ngannou and Jones have been calling each other out since the “Predator’s” heavyweight title reign started.

Ngannou has joined the PFL after not being able to agree on a proper salary with UFC president Dana White. Since then, Jones has captured the heavyweight title by defeating Francis’ old teammate turned rival Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Ngannou’s manager spoke with MMA Hour, in which he said that the heavyweights could meet in the octagon after Francis fights Tyson Fury and makes his PFL debut.

UFC fans around the world want to see a fight between the two heavyweights as it is a fight that promises fireworks and will have an interesting build-up to it.
