Francis Ngannou sent a message to Dana White after the shock pension of Jon Jones of the UFC.
Since a few months, Jon Jones has been in front and in the middle of one of the largest sagas in UFC Heavyweight History while he continued to refuse to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall.
It seemed as if they had come to an end earlier this month when Jones seemed to announce his retirement during a storm on X (formerly Twitter).
However, last Saturday after the first event of the UFC in Baku, UFC boss Dana White finally announced that Jones officially retired from the sport, as a result of Aspinall was upgraded to the undisputed champion.

Dana White Slams Francis Ngannou after the retirement of Jones
Immediately after the news, Aspinall broke his silence with a post on social media and fans guaranteed that he will be an active champion and get the heavyweight division moving again.
Nevertheless, there are not many current contenders who chomp fans to see the British heavyweight fight at that time.
A hunter who would be welcomed by the fan base with open arms is Francis Ngannou. 'The Predator' recently teased that he would be interested in a comeback, but it was briefly closed by Dana White at the time.
After UFC Baku, White again spoke about the chance that Ngannou returned and said: “One thing that I have learned about Francis over the years does not always mean what he publicly says behind the scenes, other than what he publicly says.
“I am not a big fan, I would be shocked if Francis ever came back here, on many different levels, I am not a fan and he does not always mean what he says publicly.”
Francis Ngannou sends a message to Dana White after comments
Although the former UFC champion heavyweight was possible for a return to the promotion despite the fact that he left with the boss on bad conditions, that is very unlikely on Saturday after the words of Dana White.
Ngannou responded to White and went to social media and said, “Did I say that I will ever come back?”
A fan then told Ngannou to come back to get his UFC heavyweight title back, to which he replied: “I can't remember that I lost it, size. It's still in my closet.”
A fight between Aspinall and Ngannou may have been the next best thing after a fight between Jones and Aspinall, but it is still too viewed against whom the Brit will defend his title in his first official defense.
