Once upon a time, Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones were set to be the ultimate UFC showdown. They were like two heavyweight gladiators circling each other, ready to create magic in the octagon. But fate had other plans. Ngannou left the UFC after contract disputes and joined the PFL. This left fight fans with an itch that couldn’t be scratched.
Jones, now the UFC heavyweight champion, recently stirred the pot by addressing critics who’ve been calling him a “duck.” Ngannou responded with trademark wit and class. His reply was both philosophical and playful.
“Blessings make haters uncomfortable, but they can’t change it,” Ngannou wrote on X. “There’s only one fight, the right fight that will multiply your blessings. #NgannouVSJones”
