The Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou saga continues. The two heavyweight stars ran into each other on Friday at 2023 PFL 5 , which went down at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. Ngannou, who’s now with PFL, was there to watch the event and discuss his signing during the broadcast, while Jones was there to corner his teammate Maurice Greene, who competed in the event’s headliner. When the main event was over, in which Greene lost a unanimous decision to Ante Delija, Jones and Ngannou had somewhat of a tense, yet respectful faceoff. Jones grabbed and sized up Ngannou while saying, ‘You don’t want no smoke.’ The two went back and forth for a bit.

In the co-feature bout of 2023 PFL 5 , Pacheco (21-4) made quick work of Amber Leibrock (7-5) to clinch the top seed the women’s featherweight standings.
