UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones took to social media to commend Francis Ngannou for his victory over Brazilian Renan Ferreira during the PFL tournament on the night of October 20.
What an amazing job Francis did tonight, displayed a complete MMA game. Great kicks, great takedowns. It feels good to see him shine. Wow congratulations Champ, I see you.

It's worth noting that Ngannou won the fight against Ferreira by knockout, earning a special PFL Superfight championship belt. Earlier this year, Ngannou faced Anthony Joshua in a boxing match where he was stopped in the second round, suffering a knockout loss. In mixed martial arts, he now holds a record of 18 wins and three losses.
