UFC 247 might be Jon Jones biggest test against an undefeated Dominick Reyes, who has a total of 12 straight wins. If Reyes pulls off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history by dethroning the king of the light heavyweight division there would be an instant rematch. If Reyes wins in a rematch he will be the next light heavyweight champ for many years to come. On the other hand, if Jones loses UFC 247 and wins in the rematch of course it will become a trilogy. However, what would happen if Jones gets in that cage of UFC 247 and demolishes Reyes?
What’s Next For Jon Jones?
What would be next for Jon Jones? Jones has already cleared out the light heavyweight division, except Dominick Reyes. If Jones runs through Reyes there would be nothing left in his division. Jones could retire and be considered the greatest light heavyweight, or he can risk his legacy and move up to the heavyweight division. If Jones moves up a weight class he would not have to deal with weight cutting. Could he be limiting his skill every time he cuts weight or is he best at his current weight? Jon can move up becoming weaker against his new larger opponents or he can be the same monster he is when he’s at light heavyweight. The heavyweight division top 10 is a very intimidating lineup. Would Jones have trouble transitioning or would he flourish? If Jones wins UFC 247 proceeding to move to heavyweight it will be a good test to see how he moves against newfound opponents like Derrick Lewis. Derrick Lewis is one of the top ten heavyweights also on the lineup for UFC 247. If Lewis wins his next fight he will be a great opponent for Jones to test the waters in the heavyweight division. If that were to happen it would be throwing Jones a bone. However, the UFC is more likely to throw Jones to the wolves and give him someone in the top three heavyweight division. Jones has already defeated Daniel Cormier so that would not be a fight to make. Curtis Blaydes, on the other hand, is ranked number 3 in the heavyweight division coming off an amazing win against JDS. This means Blaydes would be an opponent open for Jones if he decided to move up a class. Francis Ngannou can also be a great challenge for Jones, with Ngannou gaining strength with every match he faces. Ngannou has a difficult match coming up in March, meaning Jones VS Ngannou would have to be put on the backend for now. As great as a fight Jones against Stipe Miocic would be, the UFC would try to have Jones fight a top tier heavyweight candidate before he gets a chance at the heavyweight champion. UFC 247 will shed light on the future of Jon Jones
