PFL execs Donn Davis and Peter Murray have often spoken supportively about a potential cross promotion fight between Ngannou and Jones, urging the UFC to play ball. UFC CEO Dana White has shut it down the idea, reiterating that business is not conducted in that manner for the Las Vegas-based promotion.

After Jon Jones responded to criticism from detractors, fellow MMA legend Francis Ngannou took to social media to seemingly call out his peer once again.

The PFL has major plans in store for next year, including seeing PFL Super Fight Champion Francis Ngannou finally fight UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones.
