The list of light heavyweight fighters left for Jon Jones to beat seems smaller each day and if he is able to defeat Anthony Smith this weekend at UFC 235, it opens the possibility that he’ll move up to the heavyweight division for some potentially high-profile fights including Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic, Francis Ngannou and Cain Velasquez.
In the lead up to UFC 235 this weekend, Jones was asked hypothetically whom he would prefer to fight at heavyweight between Cormier and World Wrestling Entertainment superstar and former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, who is said to be making a UFC return sometime this calendar year.
