Ngannou and Gane have both expressed interest in fighting Jones after UFC 270. However, White has not announced Jones to be the opponent of the winner of the bout at this Saturday’s pay-per-view. Here is what he added:

“I don’t feel confident saying that Jon Jones is next,”. “Not because I think he’s unreliable, it’s because I honestly don’t know what Jon Jones wants to do next. I think Jon’s going to watch this fight, and he’ll decide. Maybe he doesn’t fight at heavyweight. Maybe he goes back and tries to regain the light heavyweight championship.  I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. After everything plays out on Saturday — there’s just so much going into this fight — it’s all part of the drama, though. It’s what makes this weekend so fun.”
