Jon Jones lays out ideal fights after UFC 309, includes Jamahal Hill, Derrick Lewis showdowns

Confirming plans to skirt a title unification fight with Tom Aspinall after UFC 309, Jon Jones has instead laid out his ideal opponents for a potential career continue after the event, namely former champion, Jamahal Hill and former title challenger, Derrick Lewis.

Jones, a former undisputed light heavyweight champion twice under the banner of the promotion, returns this weekend in the headliner of UFC 309 – taking on former champion, Stipe Miocic in the Madison Square Garden event headliner.

And returning to the Octagon for the first time since March of last year, Jon Jones most recently landed the vacant heavyweight crown with a stunning first round guillotine choke submission win over Ciryl Gane.
