Francis Ngannou just had a highly exciting match with WBC champion Tyson Fury. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan revealed the ideal move for Ngannou after his debut boxing match.

In Joe Rogan’s view, the “perfect world in the history of combat sports” involves the UFC re-signing Francis Ngannou to face Jon Jones after Ngannou’s venture into boxing. Ngannou had vacated his heavyweight title, leading to Jon Jones fighting Ciryl Gane for the vacant belt at UFC 285. Joe Rogan expressed this sentiment, highlighting the potential excitement of Ngannou’s return to the UFC and facing Jon Jones. On his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan said:

In a perfect world Francis makes a f*cking kajilion dollars and then the UFC resigns him and then he fights Jon Jones for the most epic encounter in the history of combat sports…dude, that’s a perfect world…
