Henry Cejudo doesn’t assume a Francis Ngannou struggle would add an excessive amount of to Jon Jones’ legacy.
A struggle between UFC heavyweight champion Jones and former champion Ngannou was brewing till “The Predator” parted methods with the UFC and signed with the PFL.
With Jones already extensively regarded by many as the best of all time, Cejudo sees a struggle with the document holder for many UFC heavyweight title defenses, Stipe Miocic, doing extra for his profession.
“I don’t assume Jon actually cares,” Cejudo stated on his YouTube channel. “I don’t assume Jon wants a man like Francis Ngannou to have the ability to say that he’s the best of all time. The fact is, Jon doesn’t want any of these guys. However the man that he in all probability does need to beat, he does need to beat the best heavyweight of all time. His title is Stipe Miocic.”
Ngannou is open to a cross-promotion struggle with Jones, however with the UFC traditionally not eager on that, the probabilities are low. However even when a deal had been to ever be reached, Cejudo expects Jones to have retired by then – one thing Jones lately alluded to himself if Ngannou doesn’t return to the octagon.
“I don’t imagine they’ll ever struggle,” Cejudo stated. “I actually don’t. I do imagine that Jon needs to exit out. He’s obtained perhaps yet another struggle and you then’ve obtained to tug him out of retirement as soon as once more as a result of he needs to depart as king and he needs to depart up prime.”
Jones and Miocic have been linked to a title struggle within the UFC’s projected Madison Sq. Backyard pay-per-view occasion in November, however an announcement has but to be made.
