Jon Jones vacated his light heavyweight title to move up to heavyweight. He has been dominating the light heavyweight division for years and defended the title eleven times. Currently, he is tied with Demetrious Johnson for the most title defenses in UFC history. What does the heavyweight division have in store for Jon Jones? Many questions linger for what he will do in the meantime as Francis Ngannou is next in line for a title bout.
The heavyweight division has a lot to offer Jones. I believe the winner of the Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes bout would be a great opponent for him. Jairzinho Rozenstruik came off of a great win against Junior Dos Santos and he would be a great competitor for Jones as well. The other option for Jones is Alistair Overeem. He is coming off a win and has experience in K-1 kickboxing that will create a great striking match against Jones.
Yet, Jones needs to get his feet wet in heavyweight before he aims for a title shot. He should consider a fighter who is in at least the top six of the rankings. I believe he only needs one win in the heavyweight division to get a title shot. We now just see what is in store for Jones and his future bout.
