After Chael Sonnen, Yet Another UFC Legend Takes a Jibe at the Diminishing Power of Francis Ngannou: ”…There Is Jon Jones Out There Okay”

Francis Ngannou is one of the most sought-after free agents in the world of combat sports. ‘The Predator’ is looking for opponents in MMA and boxing as he still searches for his next bout. Rumors always existed ever since UFC released the then-heavyweight champion from his contract after negotiations for a renewal broke down. Additionally, boxing superstars such as Tyson Fury seemed interested in fighting Ngannou as the doors of the UFC close for him.

Now Ngannou has been given a reality check over his bargaining power by a former UFC champion. The rise of Jon Jones is considered a major factor in the case of the legend.

Michael Bisping reports the potential ‘blockbuster fights’ of Francis Ngannou

The former UFC middleweight champion explained the current news surrounding Francis Ngannou in the latest podcast. The UFC commentator explained the reality of the situation to the fans.

He said, “I saw a report, I saw a website right?” Furthermore, he spoke about the blockbuster boxing bouts that Ngannou could have.

He continued, “It was saying that Francis Ngannou wants 25 million dollars to box either Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, or Tyson Fury. Now listen they would all be blockbuster fights because of the catchet of Francis Ngannou being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But he’s not anymore.”

The former English fighter provided the former heavyweight champion with a reality check on his bargaining power. He added, “He’s the former and there is Jon Jones out there okay. And the more Jones fights the more active he, the more times he defends that belt, the more that diminishes the bargaining power of Francis Ngannou.”

Additionally, Bisping also mentioned what Chael Sonnen said about ‘The Predator’. Bisping added, “Chael Sonnen, he was out there this week, and he has something to say and he said listen “Time is essentially running out”. And he is absolutely right. I agree with Chael 100%. He said there’s not a lot of opponent options right now for Francis. If we are playing chess here I don’t have two or three steps for Francis.”
