“But it will never happen. We will never see this fight. I don't think so. I mean, Dana said she'll never have him (Francis Ngannou) back. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll never fight in the UFC again, but I think with his age, with the deal he has in the PFL, with the opportunity to box, who knows? Maybe he'll keep winning fights and retire. But even if he has two or three fights (in the PFL), I think he will retire anyway,” Bisping said.

Ngannou was the UFC heavyweight champion last January, when he was released by the organization after both were unable to reach an agreement on a new contract. In March, Jones took the reigns by submitting the Frenchman Cyryl Gane No. UFC 285, still in the first round.
