MMAFighting.com’s Damon Martin<\/a>, Ngannou broke down how he believes a matchup with Jones would go down.<\/p>\n“I think I match up pretty well with Jon Jones. He\u2019s gaining weight now. He seems really big and strong, but I think I match up pretty good. He has some good skills that he can match my power. It\u2019s going to be different,” Ngannou said.<\/p>\n

It’s not like he is just gaining weight, he’s actually doing it the right way, and Ngannou knows the Jones matchup won’t be a walk in the park.

But it’s a challenge that Ngannou is up for, and a fight that the fans want to watch.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s obviously something that everyone would love to see,\u201d Ngannou said.<\/p>\n
