Jon Jones Says There's a 'Strong Possibility' He Fights as a Heavyweight in 2020

After teasing it a number of times in the past, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is seriously considering jumping up to heavyweight in 2020.

During a press conference Friday (h/t ESPN's Marc Raimondi), Jones called it a "strong possibility" he fights at the 265-pound weight class next year:

"I think it's a very strong possibility—absolutely. Absolutely. There's always gonna be someone next [at light heavyweight]. I feel as if I've cleared the division and I'm waiting around and I'm taking on new challenges. I'm not sitting on the title; I'm not hiding from anybody.
