Anthony Johnson willing to fight Jon Jones at light heavyweight: ‘We’ll make it happen if I get low enough’

Anthony Johnson has yet to return to the UFC, but there’s already a lot of buzz surrounding a potential heavyweight megafight with reigning UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones.

Johnson announced last week that he would be returning to the Octagon sometime in the new year and, although he’s expected to compete at heavyweight, the heavy hitting knockout artist said in a recent interview with Brendan Schaub that he would be willing to cut to 205 lbs. if need be.

“I’m gonna wait until I get about, when I lose about 10 more pounds, 235. I wanna see how my body feels and then if it feels good, then I’m going to probably make 205.
