Talk all the time centers around Jon Jones moving to heavyweight for “dream” fights with Fabricio Werdum or Cain Velasquez.
But what about if a middleweight – not Chris Weidman or Luke Rockhold – moved up to challenge Jones?
Jones, a former standout wrestler at the junior college level, would have a hard time with the mat skills of ex-Olympian Yoel Romero.
Now, before you start thinking about it, the prospects are slim of that bout happening – unless you can make a stop at Jackson-Wink MMA in New Mexico. It appears as if Romero, who was recently given a six-month suspension, is heading to the gym to help prepare Jones for his bout with Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 197.
Jones and Romero are managed by the same firm, which makes sense that they would help each other out.
