UFC 239 Jones v Santos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jon Jones<\/a> has been teasing a move to the Heavyweight division for a few years now. Things are getting interesting in the Light Heavyweight division, however, as many believe Dominick Reyes<\/a> beat Jon Jones at UFC 247, while Jan Blachowicz secured a title shot in February after knocking Corey Anderson out.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones, however, has been talking about a move to Heavyweight now more than ever. Dana White revealed that he had serious talks with Jon Jones about fighting top Heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou<\/a>, but he stated that the Light Heavyweight Champion asked for “too much” money.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones, on the other hand, said that it doesn’t make sense for him to move to Heavyweight if the price isn’t right. It’s led to a dispute with the UFC where he’s now stated that he won’t fight until they pay him what he feels he deserves.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Steve-O’s podcast<\/a> (H\/T BJPENN.com<\/a>), Jon Jones explained how a possible fight against Francis Ngannou would play out:<\/p>\n

\n

“With Francis Ngannou, it is very simple. Get comfortable with the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario he knocks you the f**k out, he possibly fractures a bone in your face. That is the worst-case scenario, you get real comfortable with that idea, and then it becomes easy,”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jon Jones said that being mentally prepared to get hurt is key:<\/p>\n

\n

“If he doesn’t knock you out and break your face, you are smart, fast, you have a chin, you have great head movement, you can wrestle. There are a lot of ways things can play out. So, I just think about the worst-case scenario. [Just] get yourself mentally to a place where you are walking into that. Like, okay, I’m getting ready to go out there and this guy could possibly hurt me tonight.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He said that all he has to do is get past round one to win the fight:<\/p>\n

\n

“Francis Ngannou is dangerous, yes, and I believe he has a chance to knock me the f**k out. Let’s say that out loud,” he explained. “But, if I don’t get knocked out, I believe I win that fight. I just have to get through round one and I win that fight.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s an interesting take, but we can’t be certain about Jon Jones’ Heavyweight status until he actually steps into the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Is Francis Ngannou a realistic opponent for Jon Jones?<\/h2>\n

Francis Ngannou is in a tough position in the Heavyweight division. He’s essentially cleared out the division by himself and is waiting for Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier 3 to play out this August so he can finally get his guaranteed title shot.<\/p>\n

If he’s meant to wait for longer, we can see a scenario where UFC tries booking the dream fight between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. However, there’s no denying that it’s an extremely high-risk fight for Jon Jones.<\/p>\n

\n

The Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones explained how a fight against Francis Ngannnou would play out.
