Heavyweight king: Turki Alalshikh can deliver dream fight of Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones

According to ex-UFC star, Francis Ngannou, if anyone can broker a mega fight between himself and current Octagon kingpin, Jon Jones, it’s Saudi adviser, Turki Alalshikh — who has informed the Batie native of such.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight titleholder during his decorated Octagon tenure, made his return to mixed martial arts late last year, featuring under the PFL (Professional Fighters League) umbrella for the first time.
