When will Jon Jones move up to heavyweight is a question he gets a lot. Most believe he has cleared out the light heavyweight division and there are bigger and more challenging fight at heavyweight. There, he could do the trilogy fight with Daniel Cormier, or fight Stipe Miocic. But a fight many fans have been asking for is to fight Francis Ngannou.
It would no doubt be a massive fight and a big payday for both fighters. And, if it happens, UFC Hall of Famer, Michael Bisping is confident Ngannou would win.
“I can’t help but think that Francis Ngannou pretty much knocks out everybody right now,” Bisping said on his podcast ‘Believe You Me‘ (as transcribed by BJPENN.com). “Of course I think ‘DC’ would be the worst matchup. ‘DC’ would be the worst matchup because of the wrestling. And of course Stipe (Miocic) beat him as well, so we can’t do a disservice to Stipe. But I’ve got a feeling Ngannou would beat Jones. I just do. I know Jones is a good wrestler, he’s got a real nice, fast double leg entry. But I don’t know, I reckon Jones vs. Ngannou, Ngannou takes it.”
Not only does he think Francis Ngannou would beat Jon Jones to hand him his first ‘real’ loss he is confident he knocks “Bones” out.
“I’m telling you, Ngannou connects with Jon Jones flush, Jones is going to sleep,” he said. “That’s a fact. I’m sorry, I’m not being a hater on Jones for saying that. I’m being pro-Ngannou.”
Whether or not this fight ever happens is to be seen. But, it is a fight many fans have been asking for and even Ngannou himself said it is a fight he would want. However, Jones has been reluctant to move up to heavyweight, so for now, it is just a dream fight.
