Revealing plans to target a potential grudge fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou in the new year, Saudi adviser, Turki Alalshikh has claimed UFC CEO, Dana White needs to be “sent to the moon” for seemingly avoiding any sort of matchup between the duo.
Jones, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion twice under the banner of the promotion, returned to action at UFC 309 last month, successfully defending his heavyweight crown in an eventual third round knockout win over former two-time best, Stipe Miocic.
As for former undisputed UFC heavyweight kingpin, Ngannou, the Cameroonian finally made good on his long-anticipated PFL (Professional Fighters League) debut back in October — making light work of Brazilian foe, Renan Ferreira with a first round ground strikes knockout win in the Middle East.
