Jon Jones: UFC vill verkligen se mig möta Alexander Gustafsson igen

UFC:s lätta tungviktsdivision har länge regerats av Jon Jones, och den enda som varit riktigt nära på att ta bältet från honom är ingen mindre än Alexander Gustafsson. Även om det börjar sina på nya titelutmanare, så tycker Jones att viktklassen ser bra ut.

Här kan ni läsa vad Jon har att säga om den lätta tungvikten, ett returmöte mot Gustafsson och en flytt upp till tungvikt, via ”MMAJunkie”:

I think that the UFC light heavyweight division is in a great, healthy state. I think that there’s always going to be new competition. I think that there are guys right now that we don’t even know exist that are working their way up. There’s going to be tons of new competition for me, and really, styles make matchups.

(With) the Gustafsson fight, nobody thought it would be even close, but look what happened. The guy scarred me permanently in the face. I’ve learned to not think that I’ve cleared any division and to respect every style, every fighter.

I think the UFC really wants to see me and Alexander Gustafsson rematch really bad, and they really gave him a really easy path back to the belt. Without being disrespectful to Jimi, Jimi’s not a top 10 fighter, so I don’t see how you’re going to fight a guy not in the top 10 to get another world championship fight. It just doesn’t make sense.

I think that’s going to happen in the next two years. I’ll go up to heavyweight permanently. I’m looking to take a super fight sooner or later, within the next year.

I’ve really been thinking about me and Cain Velasquez going at it. I think that would be huge for the sport. He’s definitely the toughest guy in the division and he’s not that big, so I think it would be a really entertaining fight. So don’t be surprised if you see that sooner or later.

Härnäst är Jones tänkt att möta Glover Teixeira, en match som troligtvis går av stapeln under maj eller april.
