Jon Jones on a potential encounter against Brock Lesnar

Jon Jones opened up about a potential match against Brock Lesnar. At a UFC 285 press conference, the legendary UFC fighter stopped to offer a quick bite to a reporter, while on his way out. The reporter, seemingly a hardcore wrestling fan, shouted the first two questions he had on his mind.

He asked Jones if the latter was still interested in getting a match-up with The Conqueror. After, Bones named Lesnar as his ‘ultimate fantasy fight’, in a recent interview. The reporter also queried about his presence at the upcoming WWE Wrestlemania 39. However, he failed to get an affirmative response to either of the questions, from the UFC heavyweight champion.

Jones said “Nahh… Enough love right here in the UFC.” hinting that he won’t switch sides anytime soon.

With that response, the champion definitely broke a lot of hearts. However, there’s no denying that Jones is here to stay, and anything can materialize in the coming days.

Ciryl Gane gets dispatched by Bones, the new heavyweight champion of the UFC

Jon Jones took the world by storm with his UFC return at UFC 285 on March 5th against Ciryl Gane. Bones was supposed to face a much more fearsome contender Francis Ngannou, but his exit from the promotion led to this uneven match-up. Most fans knew that Jones would be too much of a threat, for Gane to handle. Nevertheless, Jones didn’t upset fans and comfortably submitted Gane within the first round to claim his UFC heavyweight championship belt.

Therefore, fans of combat sports were a bit unsatisfied with the hugely anticipated contest. Moreover, fans feel that Lesnar would be an ideal candidate to face one of UFC’s finest. Who would come out on top, if Jones ever fought Lesnar? Let us know in the comments below
