After the French-Cameroonian's positive response, Jones passed the ball to the Ultimate board. The athlete stated that, as the two athletes agree, the role of promoting the meeting is left to the board.
"Well, let's go. Both parties agree. Let's see if the UFC wants to spend the money. The battle for the most 'thick-skinned' black man on the planet. How about I give you a chance at the throne? Let’s do this”, Jon posted on his social media.
Francis recently returned to performing for Ultimate. Last Saturday (9), the combatant ran over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and ended the unbeaten run in the Surinamese's career, which was coming from great victories for the company.
Jones, in turn, despite not having won safely in his last commitments, remains the absolute light heavyweight champion and is looking for new challenges in his career.
