In recent weeks, Jon Jones has been negotiating with the UFC about the next step in his successful career. Now that he has chosen to give up his title in light heavyweight, the next step seems to be to challenge for the heavyweight title.

"It sounds like there will be negotiations about my next heavyweight match. Good news, the weight gain process is starting now. ”

Jones has also previously talked about a switch to heavyweight and it now looks like it will become a reality.

The star has only lost one match in his career and took the UFC title in light heavyweight already in 2011. Since then he has had it more or less all the time, but due to rule violations he has had to regain the title three times.

This weekend, Stipe Miocic defended his heavyweight title when he beat Daniel Cormier.
