UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is targeting Stipe Miocic next.
Jones defends his light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes this Saturday at UFC 247. Should he come away the victory, there will be more calls for “Bones” to finally make the move up to heavyweight.
For his part, he seems to want that as well as he feels there is a “really good chance” of him moving up to heavyweight after fighting Reyes. In fact, he wants to go right after the heavyweight champion as well:
“There’s a really good chance,” Jones told Ariel Helwani of moving up to heavyweight after UFC 247. “I feel like I really want to fight Stipe Miocic. I feel like I could beat him.
“I don’t think I would need a tune up. I’m pretty tuned up. I’m pretty in tune. I feel great, feel strong already. Stipe’s like 230 or something? I feel like me at a lean 230 is plenty. I feel like I could totally beat him just based on his performances with DC. Our speed differences, my fight IQ, my versatility, my faith and confidence — I think I’m the guy to beat him for sure and I want to strike while I’m doing hot.”
Should that fight happen, however, Jones doesn’t plan on remaining at heavyweight. Instead, he will go back down to 205 which is where he feels he is at his optimum best:
“I think I would go up and go straight for the king. I think I would probably go back down to 205 [afterwards],” Jones added. “Getting down to 205 just makes me feel good about myself, just makes me feel good just to earn that victory and to detox myself, lose the weight again.
“The journey to get down to the weight class and just to feel ultimately prepared — I just love it. I feel like my highest just mentally, spiritually, physically, something about getting down to my weight class that makes me feel super charged.”
Of course, Jones has to get past Reyes first before any of this can happen.
Do you think we can see Jones vs. Miocic in the future?

Daniel Cormier believes UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic should ‘man up’ and fight him.
Miocic recently recovered from an eye injury sustained from an eye poke from Cormier during their UFC 241 rematch in August which the former won.
However, his agent recently claimed that Miocic could still be on the sidelines for a bit, but when he’s ready to return, he would like to face someone he hasn’t beaten before. Cormier responded to this by telling Miocic to do the right thing and give him his rematch.
Cormier added that he’s willing to wait until the summer but has no interest in facing anybody else.
“Stipe’s not the only guy that’s banged up and hurt,” Cormier said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday. “I had a bad back surgery last December. … We’ll see what happens. I don’t really feel like fighting anyone else. It’s going to be for the championship or I’m not going to fight.”
UFC president Dana White previously claimed that the trilogy fight would be next for both competitors with Cormier revealing it would be his retirement fight.
But given the way things are unfolding, it seems to “DC” that Miocic doesn’t want to fight him again — and he can understand why:
“Stipe Miocic has the ability to retire me,” Cormier added. “I gave him the rematch. I wasn’t ready to fight Derrick Lewis but the UFC needed someone. I’m the guy that’s always stepped up. They gave me a fight I thought I could compete in. That’s why I fought him on 17 days [notice] in November.
“It’s so crazy to me how he was so quick to step up on three weeks notice back then because he didn’t have the belt. But the moment he gets the belt, he just changes. I don’t understand how people don’t see who he truly is. It’s kind of insane but it is what it is. If he wants to man up and fight me, he’ll man up and fight me. … I won almost four rounds. … I could imagine why he wouldn’t want to fight me.”
