US Edition"Dana His Biggest Hater" - Fans Skeptical of Francis Ngannou Fighting Jon Jones at White House as Former's PFL Contract Ends Soon
Francis Ngannou’s PFL contract is ending, opening possibilities for a super-fight with Jon Jones on the planned White House card, which also features pitches from other top fighters.
- On Wednesday, Francis Ngannou said `I'm getting very close on the PFL contract,` opening the door to a UFC return at the White House fight card Donald Trump says will be staged on 14 June.
- After leaving the UFC in early 2023, Ngannou moved to PFL, fought once last year, and knocked out Renan Ferreira while pursuing big boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
- UFC president Dana White has been less keen to involve Jon Jones amid trust issues, while Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev and Alex Pereira have pitched to headline the White House fight card.
- Ngannou said there is a chance the Jon Jones bout can be made and that anything can happen with the White House fight card, but he added, `I don’t have hand on it, so I’m not the decision-maker.`
- Timing matters: Ngannou named Deontay Wilder as a target next year alongside Jon Jones, former light-heavyweight champion, and they nearly crossed paths when Jones debuted two months after Ngannou left UFC.
