Jon Jones has moved up to the Heavyweight division and seems willing to fight Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou
Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has opened up on some tough challenges for him in his new division.
Jones shocked the world by vacating his title and moving up to the Heavyweight division. Jones is regarded as one of the greatest MMA stars of all-time and had dominated the Light Heavyweight division.
However, a move up to the Heavyweight division sees him having a go at Stipe Miocic. Miocic is the current champion and is regarded as one of the best heavyweights to have graced the UFC.
Miocic also had a huge battle with Daniel Cormier in his last fight but there is no guarantee who he fights next.
Francis Ngannou is next in line and the Cameroon-French star is known for his punching power. Jones was speaking about the pair and recently suggested that he was ready to take the two heavyweights on:
Fans appreciate Jones’ decision
Fighting Ngannou or Miocic would be a real test for Jones, especially in the higher weight class and it will be interesting to see how it goes.
Dana White recently suggested that Ngannou vs Miocic for the title would be the first match and then Jones could get in on the action.
Bones has to bulk up too and that might take him some time. The Heavyweight division is stacked with some great hitters and it is to be seen what is next for the former Light Heavyweight champion.
Jones has done it all in the Light Heavyweight division and it makes sense for him to take up a new challenge.
Things are going to be interesting in the Heavyweight division and many fans praised Jones for coming clean regarding his plans for 2021.
