Brendan Schaub would like to see Francis Ngannou fight Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall
Saturday night, at the UFC Tampa post-fight press conference, Dana White teased that a massive announcement was coming that would drive the media “crazy.”
As a result, the MMA community went into meltdown, trying to figure out what the mysterious match-up could be.
Brendan Schaub is especially intrigued to find out who the UFC president is talking about, with the content creator naming the one fight he'd like to see more than any other.
The idea of Francis Ngannou returning to the promotion to face the winner of Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall would be his dream clash.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the ex-sportsman said: “Dana said, 'I have other news.' He says, 'You guys will be surprised, you'll be running around like chickens with your heads cut off.'
“Here's the problem with that, because he did this at UFC 300. Remember, he said, 'You're all going to be blown away.' I didn't get blown up.
“When I heard that, I thought: what could this be? The only thing that would surprise me is if it's Francis. Francis will fight the winner of Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall. That would blow me up.”

While Ngannou's return to the UFC would be fantastic for fans, it appears White may be heading in a different direction.
Conor McGregor recently claimed on social media that he was in negotiations for an exhibition fight with Logan Paul, with Bloody Elbow sources confirming that 'The Maverick' has been offered the fight.
MMA Mania later revealed that UFC executives were contacted about the bout last Friday. They added that this is indeed the collision White was talking about.
