'We don't care'… Ex-UFC star goes on huge rant as he pleads with Dana White to make Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou

With Dana White and Francis Ngannou firing shots at each other in the media, a former UFC fighter has come forward to insist that the President of the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization needs to put bygones aside and make the clash between ‘The Predator’ and Jon Jones.

The fans would love to finally see the collision, which has for so long evaded them.

Darren Till rages at Dana White for not making Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou

On October 19, at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants, inside The Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Francis Ngannou produced a devastating performance.

Despite spending two years away from the cage, the Cameroonian hadn’t skipped a beat, ragdolling Renan Ferreira, en route to landing vicious ground and pound to secure the stoppage.

The tremendous victory proved that Ngannou is very much still at the top of his game, and possesses the minerals necessary to give Jon Jones a run for his money.

Alas, due to his relationship with Dana White, we may never see the PFL Super Fights heavyweight champion trade leather with the UFC King.

This situation has deeply aggravated Darren Till, who is insistent that his old boss needs to move on from what’s happened in the past and make the fights the world wants to see.

In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, the Liverpudlian said: “As much as I love Dana White, there’s one thing that just p***ed me off―just make the f***ing fight with Francis Ngannou [and Jon Jones].

“We don’t care that you don’t like Francis and Francis doesn’t like you. Guess what? Wow, we don’t care. No one is a***d.

“Let’s just watch Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall, Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones and let them all fight and we’ll say, ‘Right, he’s the best right now’.

“We don’t care that, ‘Ooh, he said something mean to me once’. We’re not a***d, who cares? I don’t care; why do you care? UFC has always been the best because they make the best fights.”

MMA heavyweight legend is backing Stipe Miocic to beat Jon Jones at UFC 309

While the MMA community craves the idea of Jones fighting Ngannou and Aspinall, that will never come to fruition if Stipe Miocic has any say in the matter.

The greatest heavyweight of all time has his eyes set on reclaiming his old throne, when he takes on ‘Bones’ at UFC 309, on November 16, in Madison Square Garden, New York, USA.

And while he’s considered a major underdog by the bookmakers, one icon is on his side.

An MMA superstar has recently confirmed that he’s firmly backing the Cleveland native to secure the win.
