I imply, I’m simply sharing with you, like, that’s a giant man’s nightmare. Jon’s not a heavyweight; Jon is preventing at heavyweight. There’s a large distinction.”
Jones and Ngannou had been on a collision course earlier than Ngannou opted to signal with PFL. Cormier, who fought Jones twice, was particularly impressed together with his former rival’s wrestling.
