UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has weighed in on ‘the best striker in MMA’ debate by naming Jon Jones the best overall striker in the sport.
Ngannou might be considered the most dangerous striker in mixed martial arts but ‘The Predator’ firmly believes ‘Bones’ is the superior technician, with UFC 270 opponent Ciryl Gane coming a close second.
“If I’m about to say the best striker for MMA striking, it would still be Jon Jones. But if we go kickboxing style, then I think it will be Ciryl [Gane]. But for MMA striking, I would give it to Jon Jones,” Ngannou said in a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda).
