UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou has been taking tips from boxing icon Mike Tyson after light heavyweight ruler Jon Jones urged bosses to “send the deal” for him to face the Cameroonian powerhouse.


During Wednesday’s UFC Jacksonville co-main event between Ben Rothwell and Ovince Saint Preux, 205lbs king Jones couldn’t help but ponder the possibility of a move up to the heavyweight division.


The light heavyweight champ wrote on social media that he could picture himself transitioning to heavyweight, just as Saint Preux was doing for the first time in his career.


Jones, who defeated Saint Preux four years ago to win an interim light heavyweight title, tweeted that the possibility of fighting at heavyweight became “so much more real to me” and that “I was visualizing myself as Saint Preux that whole fight.”
