UFC president Dana White doesn’t seem to think the chances of a Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou super fight are high.
The pair have been going back-and-forth in recent days leading to Jones asking the UFC to send him a lucrative offer to fight Ngannou in a heavyweight contest.
“Who would you guys consider the quicker and more technical striker Thiago Santos or Francis? If you guys think I wouldn’t take this fight you’re insane. I have absolutely nothing else to prove as a light heavyweight. I’d love that big money fight right around now. Send the deal”
While White didn’t rule the fight out, he isn’t exactly sure both fighters are on the same page about facing each other.
“I mean, anything’s possible,” White said at the UFC Florida post-fight press conference. “I don’t know if those guys really want that fight. You know what I mean?”
“Let me tell you this, and I’m not saying this is the case with these two — you see a lot of talk online and whatever it might be, but actually making fights is a whole other ball game.”
Although White stated it wasn’t the case here, it could be that he’s suggesting Jones is saying something online and saying something completely different in person.
After all, the current light heavyweight champion has been teasing a move up to heavyweight for years.
We’ll just have to wait and see if there are any further developments.
Do you agree with White in being skeptical about these two facing each other?

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is angling for a fight with Francis Ngannou.
Jones has been teasing a move up for years and most recently spoke of his desire to have a 220-pound catchweight bout before moving up to heavyweight.
The topic came up again on Wednesday night as Jones was watching old foe Ovince Saint Preux make his heavyweight debut against Ben Rothwell. While Jones was observing how OSP was faring a division up, Ngannou indirectly laid out a challenge for the 205-pound king.
“How real it seemed to you my friend?!”
Jones would reply soon after.
“Seemed so real Francis, all that power means nothing when your hay makers are too slow. I’m not most my friend”
When a fan replied stating that Jones would never take a fight with Ngannou, he responded once again adding that he has faith in himself.
“No the truth is you would never agree to fight him. I feel like my talents are blessed by God, I have no reason to doubt my chin or abilities.”
As for how he’d beat “The Predator”?
“By just being myself”
Jones then talked up the possibility of a fight with Ngannou again on Thursday stating that he would love the challenge as he would get paid handsomely for it and called for the UFC to send the deal.
“Who would you guys consider the quicker and more technical striker Thiago Santos or Francis? If you guys think I wouldn’t take this fight you’re insane. I have absolutely nothing else to prove as a light heavyweight. I’d love that big money fight right around now. Send the deal”
That was music to Ngannou’s ears.
“If you think you can handle my technique level that’s fine 
but I agree with you that you don’t have anything to prove in LHW division and that this should be for bags 
”
