Francis Ngannou took to Twitter to express his views on the recent Jon Jones incident. The fighter took a neutral approach to the situation, neither flaying nor siding with the latter. Here is what he had to say.
It’s funny to sit back and see how people are going crazy about Jon Jones. Obviously he needs to get his shit together. I’m not defending him but people shouldn’t throw stones like we are all perfect. I hope this guy gets back to where he needs to be – entertaining the world.

With a unique take on the matter, the Cameroonian, in his own way, stated that Colby Covington, someone always in the media spotlight for the wrong things, should not be commenting on Jones.
