Chris Weidman kan tänka sig möta Jon Jones

Chris Weidman lyckades under förra året att plocka hem mellanviktsbältet då han besegrade föredetta mästaren Anderson Silva, och har sedan dess försvarat titeln vid två tillfällen. Om man pratar supermatcher med Weidman så finns det bara en som han finner rimlig, och det är en match mot nuvarande lätt tungviktsmästaren Jon Jones.

Här kan ni läsa vad Weidman hade att säga om framtida supermatcher, via ”The MMA Hour”:

If I was at the top and he’s (Jones) at the top, then that’s the guy I’d want to fight, but who knows where we will be at that point. I think he’ll be at the top for a while and I think I will too, so, you know. But if I had to say right now, then yeah that’s the fight I want. I want to fight the best guys in the world. It’s not like I’m calling out Jon Jones, but I want the toughest competition and I’d want to fight the people that other people think I can’t beat. So he’d definitely be an awesome test for me, so who knows.

I don’t even think that I’d entertain that (Johny Hendricks fight). Not that he’s not good or anything like that, but it just doesn’t make any sense to talk about it now. Hendricks hasn’t defended his belt yet, and I have more people to fight in my weight class. Nothing to talk about right now. On top of that, I would never call out a guy who’s smaller than me. I’m a lot bigger than him, I think. I know he walks around heavy, but I’d feel like I’d have a huge advantage in that fight, so I’m not calling him out.

Jon Jones is different. He’s taller than me, he’s bigger than me, so that’s a different story. That would be more of a test for me than Johny Hendricks.

Härnäst vill dock Chris möta ingen mindre än Vitor Belfort, eller vinnaren i matchen mellan Gegard Mousasi och Ronaldo ”Jacare” Souza som går av stapeln vid ”UFC: Fight Night 50″ den 5 september.
