Francis Ngannou calls Dana White 'massive obstacle' for Jon Jones fight

Jon Jones has expressed interest in a potential superfight against UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, despite ongoing calls from interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall for a unification bout. Pereira acknowledged the interest in facing Jones, but the fight hinges on UFC President Dana White's decisions. Meanwhile, Stipe Miocic recently backed Francis Ngannou in a hypothetical matchup against Jones, a choice that some speculate may be influenced by past conflicts with Jones. Ngannou himself remains hopeful for a future fight with Jones, citing White as a significant obstacle to making it happen, although he is currently focused on boxing. Both fighters have maintained that the possibility of the bout remains intriguing for fans, even as they pursue other opportunities. As negotiations and interest swirl, the MMA community continues to discuss the implications of these potential matchups on the heavyweight division.
