Eric Nicksick, coach of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, has revealed who he sees as the Cameroonian fighter's next opponent.
Eric Nicksick
In a perfect world, for me, I still want that Jon Jones fight. Just because I want to compete against the best and I think Jon is the best. I don’t want any more guesses about who is the baddest man on the planet.
Recall, on October 28, Ngannou lost to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury by split decision of the judges. Francis held his last MMA fight in January 2022 at UFC 270, defeating Ciryl Gane by unanimous decision of judges. He has 17 wins and three losses on his record.
Jones last stepped into the octagon against Ciryl Gane in March 2023 at UFC 285. In this confrontation, Jones won by first-round choke hold and won the heavyweight championship belt. He has 27 wins and one loss on his record.
