Jon Jones has previously spoken about making a move to heavyweight but this time, his plans to move up a weight class in the quest for the heavyweight title seem pretty serious given the fact that Jones himself mentioned the possibility of facing Ngannou in a heavyweight clash of epic proportions.
Cormier knows everything about Jon Jones as a fighter. Having faced Jones twice in a pair of grudge matches and lost both, one would think that the mere mention of the name “Jon Jones” would irk DC to no end but that isn’t really the case. Cormier is a gentleman and wouldn’t shy away from giving credit where it’s due. Speaking with ESPN journalist Ariel Helwani on the latter’s MMA show, Cormier praised Jones for showing the gusto to call out one of the deadliest fighter on the UFC roster.
If Jones decides to stay back at light heavyweight, he has quite a few options in hand; the likes of Jan Blachowicz, Dominick Reyes and Thiago Santos. However, right now, it seems like Jon Jones is now focused on fighting Ngannou at heavyweight and adding a second title to his collection.
