‘The Predator’ talked about how it all depends on which kind of Jon Jones appears in the octagon at the UFC 285. He mentioned that if it’s a ‘Bones’ that is coming for a knockout, Ngannou does not see the fight going to the distance.

“I think this fight will most likely go into distance unless if (the) Jon Jones (that) show up (in) this fight can TKO. I think he’s gonna take down, wrestle, do some ground and pound,” said the former UFC champ.

It is interesting to note that if Ngannou had not left UFC and vacated his title, then the option for UFC would have been Jones vs Ngannou. The possibility of a fight between Jones and Ngannou had been looming for quite some time. According to everyone in the MMA community, it would have been a fascinating matchup to watch.

However, the former heavyweight champ’s decision to leave the UFC has led to ‘Bones’ having to fight ‘Bon Gamin’ for the vacant title.
