White reportedly declined, while Ngannou rejected a deal that the UFC president claimed would make him the highest-paid heavyweight in the organization’s history.
Daniel Cormier, who holds both the light heavyweight and heavyweight titles, weighing About the rivalry between Jones and Garn. According to “DC”, Gane may cause more problems for “Bones” than Ngannou:
“I thought Jon [Jones] with francis [Ngannou] This is the biggest and I’m most looking forward to the fight as Francis Ngannou brings Jon Jones power and all danger, but let’s not go crazy here as if Jon Jones hasn’t seen power before. He has seen power. There is nothing like the power of Ngannou. I believe that what he has now may be a more difficult style duel in Ciryl Gane…”
