Jon Jones was on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour earlier today and he revealed that he requested a top 10 heavyweight but Dana and Lorenzo advised him to wait. Ariel Helwani asked LHW Champ Jon ‘Bones’ Jones…
Have you started to think seriously Jon about the move up to heavyweight? Do you have a time table as to when you would like to do that?
And Jon Jones replied saying…
Yes, definitely … I taked to Dana and Lorenzo about taking fight for the fans at the end of 2012. I figured beating beating Henderson, and Rashad, there will be a period where I’m going to figure out who I fight next. And during that period, at the end of 2012, I requested a heavyweight, a top-10 heavyweight … just for the fans … Dana and Lorenzo did not think that was going to best for me to do right now. They want me to continue in the Light-heavyweight division.

would love to see him fight mir or congo, someone with good leg kicks to attack those matchsticks he calls legs. looking past hendo could be a major mistake
I don’t think Mir or Kongo would stand much chance
The man to beat Jones is Anderson, and age is fast catching up with Anderson.
For sure Silva would have a go, but he’s talking about HW, in the full interview he said something about beating Evans and Henderson then wanted the HW fight. I think overlooking Hendo is tempting fate (his age notwithstanding). It’s a wrestler ground and pounder that poses the biggest threat or a good Thai boxer. Someone’s gotta go after his legs he’s like bambi!
