Michael Bisping rules out Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping doubts Jones and Ngannou will ever fight each other. The former UFC middleweight champion believes it’s highly unlikely that his employers will want to do business with the PFL. “I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” Bisping said during an exclusive chat with Bloody Elbow.
“Why? I understand that money talks, and you never know, maybe some gigantic amount of money appears from one of the parties in Saudia Arabia and maybe that gets the deal done. “In terms of business, if it [the UFC] was my organization that I’d built for 30 years, that this sport was founded upon, and then you’ve got PFL out there..
. “I’m just saying if it was my business, who stands to gain more there? Who stands to gain? The PFL. The PFL then are held in the same regard as the UFC.
“Yeah, it would be an amazing fight, and we all want to see it. Of course we do, we all want to see the best fight the best. “But if I was running the UFC I’d be like, ‘No chance! We tried to make that fight.
We offered him a ton of money and he didn’t want to do it. It’s a shame’. I wouldn’t cross-promote right now.
”.
