Henry Cejudo doesn’t suppose a Francis Ngannou battle would add an excessive amount of to Jon Jones’ legacy.
A battle between UFC heavyweight champion Jones and former champion Ngannou was brewing till “The Predator” parted methods with the UFC and signed with the PFL.
With Jones already broadly regarded by many as the best of all time, Cejudo sees a battle with the file holder for many UFC heavyweight title defenses, Stipe Miocic, doing extra for his profession.
“I don’t suppose Jon actually cares,” Cejudo stated on his YouTube channel. “I don’t suppose Jon wants a man like Francis Ngannou to have the ability to say that he’s the best of all time. The fact is, Jon doesn’t want any of these guys. However the man that he in all probability does wish to beat, he does wish to beat the best heavyweight of all time. His title is Stipe Miocic.”
Ngannou is open to a cross-promotion battle with Jones, however with the UFC traditionally not eager on that, the probabilities are low. However even when a deal had been to ever be reached, Cejudo expects Jones to have retired by then – one thing Jones recently alluded to himself if Ngannou doesn’t return to the octagon.
“I don’t consider they’ll ever battle,” Cejudo stated. “I actually don’t. I do consider that Jon needs to exit out. He’s obtained possibly another battle and you then’ve obtained to tug him out of retirement as soon as once more as a result of he needs to go away as king and he needs to go away up high.”
Jones and Miocic have been linked to a title battle within the UFC’s projected Madison Sq. Backyard pay-per-view occasion in November, however an announcement has but to be made.
