Dana White Comments on Possible Ngannou and Jones Fight at UFC-PFL Joint Tournament

UFC president Dana White responded to a question about a potential joint tournament with the PFL league that could feature a fight between Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones.

Dana White
It wouldn’t work. Francis was here, Jon Jones wanted that fight, the whole time. We tried to make the fight with Francis.

"Jones was on vacation for three years while I sat here waiting," Ngannou responded on social media to White's words.

Ngannou, 36, last fought in the UFC in January 2022 at UFC 270. At that time, his opponent was Frenchman Ciryl Gane. In that fight, Francis won by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and three losses in mixed martial arts under his belt.

Jones, 35, last competed at UFC 285 in March, 2023, when he stopped Gane with a choke in the first round. He has 27 wins and one loss on his record.
