Jon Jones submitted Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 to win the vacant Heavyweight Championship. Jones made it look effortless as he shot for a takedown, controlled Gane on the ground, and found his submission. However, the former Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou is confusing the fans with his reaction to the main event finish at UFC 285.
Francis Ngannou can be seen happily smiling at the sight of Jones defeating Gane, whereas his friends are running up and down in the room. Ngannou also fought Ciryl Gane and needed all five rounds to defeat him by unanimous decision. It is only speculation at this point as to what Ngannou is smiling about. Is he privy to some information that the regular folks do not? It could also be that Francis Ngannou is a fan of the sport and was in awe of Jones securing the victory.
Francis Ngannou is a free agent after failing to agree to a new contract with UFC. Ngannou won the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2021 and defended the title against Gane at UFC 270. There were speculations about a potential Jon Jones matchup, but it never came to fruition as Ngannou, and the UFC parted ways.

Ngannou is looking for big-money fights in boxing against Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder. A fight with either Fury or Wilder is exciting as Ngannou has enormous knockout power. It is only a matter of time before the former champion gets fighting offers from promoters and accepts the fight that makes the most sense for him.
