It’s been nearly two years since UFC light heavyweight contender Jon
Jones first burst on the national scene, and the New
Yorker’s rise to prominence has been nothing short of astronomical.
Just four fights into his UFC run, many mixed martial arts fans are
already calling for a light heavyweight title shot.
But as Jones prepares for a showdown with veteran grinder Vladimir
Matyushenko at August’s UFC on Versus 2 event, the
soon-to-be-23-year-old told the crew of ESPN’s “MMA Live” that he’s not
necessarily just focused on a 205-pound title. “Bones” might eventually
go up to heavyweight, too.
