UFC News round up: Francis Ngannou updates on Deontay Wilder fight

Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou won’t happen because the former is leaving the UFC, but another big fight is on the horizon for him. Deontay Wilder, a former heavyweight champion, and The Predator, according to The Predator, are now discussing a two-fight deal.

Ngannou claims that discussions with Wilder about a boxing match are still underway and that they want it to occur in Africa. “Because he is available, we are looking into it. He is ready for that. He’s looking forward to [a battle with me]. He desires it. So, we are investigating that. That makes me thrilled, to be honest. Even a conflict elsewhere and one in Africa were on the table for discussion. Why not at least one or two conflicts in Africa?” Ngannou spoke with TMZSports.

Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler clash detailed

Conor McGregor, a former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, will compete against lightweight contender and current No. 5 ranked Michael Chandler in the upcoming TUF Season 31. On Tuesday, May 30, when the series premieres on ESPN, the two competing coaches will probably clash in front of the public. The precise date and time of the duel have yet to be confirmed.

“Michael Chandler seems like a bigger Chad Mendes to me,” according to Conor McGregor’s coach in a recent interview when asked what he thinks of the fighter. According to him, both men are of similar build, but Michael Chandler has restless hands and is like a broader version of Chad. He contrasts the boxers’ tactics and strategies and doesn’t notice a significant difference.

When pressed further about the friendship between Michael and Conor, the coach acknowledges that it is cordial and declines to make provocative claims that would betray Dana White.
