LAS VEGAS – UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones may eventually fight in the heavyweight division, but it won’t be anytime soon.
UFC president Dana White today shot down the possibility of Jones moving to heavyweight during a press conference ahead of this weekend’s UFC 143 event in Las Vegas.
Jones, who’s made quick work of the 205-pound division after becoming the UFC’s youngest-ever titleholder, recently told UFC officials he’d like to move up a weight class before year’s end.
