The Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones ship has sailed for now, at least in the eyes of UFC President Dana White.
Speaking to The Ringer, White touched upon the ongoing negotiations for a highly-anticipated superfight between Ngannou, the UFC’s current heavyweight champion, and Jon Jones, the greatest light heavyweight fighter in the promotion’s history. White and Jones have been locked in public negotiations for over a year now over the possibility of Jones moving up to heavyweight and immediately fighting for the title. New life was breathed into the conversation when Ngannou beat Stipe Miocic to become champion at UFC 260.
