Former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones made his move to heavyweight public as he posted his workout preparation for the division.
Jon Jones has been teasing a move to heavyweight and plans to make a splash in the division. In fact, he’s offered to face Francis Ngannou on multiple occasions, as long as the money was right. But, an ongoing back and forth with the UFC stalled negotiations due to what Jon believed to be a “low ball” deal. However, now that Jones has relinquished, he has no direction to move, but upward. Now, the quest for heavyweight gold has officially begun for Jones, as he makes his weight gain documentation public via social media.
Teasing a Move to Heavyweight
Jon has teased a move to the heavyweight division for quite some time. However, all of the stars had to align first before he was able to officially make the move. At first, Jones was hellbent on getting a massive pay raise in order to take on a ferocious contender such as Francis Ngannou. However, the UFC wasn’t willing to budge, which caused Jones to sit out. After vacating his 205lb title, Jones decided to make the move to heavyweight regardless.
