LAS VEGAS – Francis Ngannou just won the UFC heavyweight championship, but the conversation has already begun as to who his first title defense should come against. At UFC 260 on Saturday, Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) beat Stipe Miocic by second-round knockout to win the title. Within moments, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones , who is preparing for a move to heavyweight, sent out a barrage of tweets that angled for the fight. The feeling is mutual, according to Ngannou, who named Jones as the top option on his list of potential next matchups. “Obviously, Jon Jones makes more sense for me,” Ngannou told MMA Junkie at a post-fight news conference.
