UFC Rumors: Dana White & Co. Has “Too Big of an Ego” to Cross Promote Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou Fight

Title: UFC Rumors: Dana White's Ego Hindering Cross-Promotion of Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou Fight

UFC fans have been waiting for years to see a dream match between heavyweight legends, Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. However, recent comments from former UFC fighter Randy Couture and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul suggest that Dana White's ego may be preventing this epic fight from happening. Both fighters have expressed interest in a cross-promotion match, but White has allegedly refused due to his belief that the UFC is too big to participate in such an event.

White's refusal to co-promote has been met with criticism from both fans and media. The UFC head honcho has consistently avoided considering Aspinall's request for a unification title fight, despite the potential for a thrilling match between the two athletes. Critics argue that White's ego and favoritism towards Jones are hindering the UFC's potential to host some of the greatest fights in MMA history.

As Ngannou left the UFC last year due to contractual issues, it seemed unlikely that a fight between the two legends would occur. However, new funding from Turki Alalshikh sparked hope for fans who dreamt of seeing this historic match-up. Unfortunately, White dashed those hopes during a UFC post-fight press conference, stating that he was not interested in co-promoting and had tried to make the fight happen already but was unsuccessful.

Do you think Dana White's ego will ever allow for a cross-promotion fight between Jones and Ngannou? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
