Francis Ngannou Trolls Jon Jones Over ‘Mouse’ Comment

The social media war of words between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou doesn’t look like it’s anywhere close to done. A new wave of heat has taken over the internet as the two fighters exchanged shots.

Since last week, the two fighters have been at war over social media. Just as it seemed to die down, Ngannou reignited the entire feud. He posted a tweet in which he tagged Jon Jones asking a very simple question, “Hello Jonny are you still there?”

It took a while for Jon Jones to respond, but he fired back. He posted the same picture and said, “First you can save the rest of your tongue pictures for your other homies, and yes I’m right here, just waking up from watching that Derek Lewis fight again. You ain’t scaring nobody, I saw your heart. You’re a big old mouse, I’ll expose you.”

This was a shot at Francis Ngannou’s lackluster performance at UFC 226. He lost to Derrick Lewis in a fight that was considered boring overall, and he in particular, was a dud. But since then, Ngannou won 4 fights in a row and regained his top contender status.

Francis Ngannou lays down some heat

Striking back at Jones’ “big old mouse” comment, Ngannou posted a screenshot from Jon Jones’ fight against Dominick Reyes. This is from their most recent fight at UFC 247 from February 2020. He captioned the post “Watched some tapes too,” and added in a screenshot of Jon Jones running away from Dominick Reyes.

Jon Jones has toyed with the idea of moving up to heavyweight for a while now. He’s been relentless on Twitter about the division jump and has called out Ngannou on several occasions. But he’s yet to pull the trigger.

Francis Ngannou would happily welcome Jon Jones to the division. They’ve been itching to get their hands on each other. Both men have agreed they would like to be paid properly in order for the mega-fight to go through.

What do you think? Will Jon Jones make the move to heavyweight and take on Francis Ngannou any time soon?
