Francis Ngannou challenged UFC star Jon Jones to a fight that would determine the top heavyweight fighter in MMA.
"We both want this fight, for sure," Ngannou said in an interview with TMZ Sports. "It would be a good fight for us."
Jones successfully defended the UFC heavyweight title with his third-round TKO of Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 on Nov. 16. He originally captured the gold in March 2023, beating Ciryl Gane, after the belt was vacated due Ngannou's contract standoff with the promotion.
Ngannou, meanwhile, knocked out Renan Ferreira in his PFL debut.
