Francis Ngannou Throws Shade at Jon Jones With a 4 Worded Message After the UFC Champ Mocked Him for Calling Himself the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’

Jones and Ngannou are at it again! The heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou threw shade at Jones on Twitter after the latter mocked him for calling himself the ‘baddest man on the planet’ once he had a contract with the PFL.

With Jon Jones‘ comeback to the heavyweight division of the UFC, rumors of Jones vs. Ngannou had the entire MMA world shaken. However, it is a shame that the fans will not witness the two powerhouses lock horns since they are currently under different banners (Jones – UFC, and Ngannou – PFL). But that hasn’t stopped them from clashing online.

Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou’s Twitter War

After being a free agent for a while, the heaviest puncher in MMA signed on with PFL and called himself “the baddest motherf***** on the planet” on his YouTube channel. Jones wouldn’t have it and mocked him and called him a ‘P***‘. He went on to tweet about Ngannou’s move to PFL and said it was cowardly of him to call himself that while on the “other side of the street.”

Ngannou coolly replied by tweeting, “Then Cross The Street” ensuring a timely and appropriate clap back for the fans.

In another tweet, Jones said, ‘You notice that! Wasn’t calling himself the baddest when he was still a free agent. He signed safely behind a new organization, and now suddenly the baddest thing walking. Like we all haven’t seen him quitting inside that cage before.‘

It was an entertaining exchange between two of the best fighters in MMA today. Unfortunately, verbal exchanges are all the fans can get since a fight between these two MMA giants seems far-fetched at this point.
