Two heavyweight champions of different eras and sports met at the PFL Champions vs. Bellator Champions match in Saudi Arabia. Mike Tyson and Jon Jones greeted each other on the grand stage. The unexpected crossover caught the attention of the MMA community who were witnessing the match. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Tyson’s behavior towards Jones.

What is even more interesting is that Mike Tyson is currently coaching former UFC heavyweight champion and potential opponent for Jones, Francis Ngannou, for his boxing and MMA fights. Tyson is there to present the winner of three title fights in the inaugural PFL vs. Bellator: Champs card with a custom championship belt. However, for Ngannou, it’s something personal.

Ngannou might be looking at his potential opponent at the PFL vs. Bellator fight. The former UFC heavyweight champion asserted that he would be there in Saudi Arabia to witness the Renan Ferreira vs. Ryan Bader fight. The winner of the match is said to be Ngannou’s next opponent and seems like Renan Ferreira will be locking horns with Ngannou after his spectacular knockout victory against Bader.
