Jake Paul Claims Dana White ‘Scared’ to Make Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou Official
For the uninitiated, this is not the first time that a fight between Ngannou and Jones has been teased. The duo were slated to cross paths back in 2023 but owing to several complications, the fight fell flat. Ever since then, the possibility of the bout getting official has been discussed heavily. But if we take a look into the reality, Francis Ngannou leaving UFC on bitter terms and being a PFL fighter makes the possibility of a potential match-up extremely unlikely.
Meanwhile, this is not the only instance of Jake Paul getting involved with a UFC fighter. Following his KO victory against Mike Perry, Paul called out the UFC light heavyweight champion. Surprisingly, ‘The Problem Child’ immediately received a FaceTime call from Pereira accepting the offer. Unfortunately, that fight too, will, in most likelihood, not come to fruition.
Since Alex Pereira is under contract with the UFC, he has to obtain a permit from Dana White before making the fight official. And quite expectedly, White did not show much interest in the bout. Thus, with Jake Paul visibly angry at the UFC Head Honcho, it remains to be seen whether White changes his stance and makes crossover fights happen in the future or not.
