Jon Jones
UFC light heavyweight title holder Jon ‘Bones’ Jones (17-1) has his next fight lined up against former middleweight contender Chael Sonnen, with the two coaching opposite one another on season 17 of The “Ultimate Fighter” before meeting in the spring.
Even with that title defense in mind, Jones is already thinking past that and tells USAToday.com that he wants to hold his belt as well as the heavyweight strap, “I want it all.”
“Because things have been going so well, right now it’s about not putting limits on anything and realizing the sky is the limit,” Jones told USA TODAY Sports in an exclusive interview. “Really, I want everything, and I’ve said that since day one. I want to be the best. I want to be a record-holder in everything. I want to be a heavyweight champion and a light-heavyweight champion. I want it all.”
Jones goes on to say that he’s ready to tackle that challenge now as he feels it’s the right time to do so.
Certainly UFC execs will look at this statement as a money maker with another of their champions willing to compete in a “Super Fight” in another division. Much like middleweight title holder Anderson Silva did recently at UFC 153 by finishing Stephan Bonnar in a light heavyweight bout.
