St-Pierre: Jon Jones ‘has all the skills’ to be as good at heavyweight as he was at light heavyweight

As one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, Jon Jones will be able to dominate at whatever weight class he chooses.

That’s according to Georges St-Pierre, the former UFC welterweight champion, who believes Jones can be just as good at heavyweight as he was at light heavyweight.

‘Bones’ has spent the better part of the last two years preparing for a move up to heavyweight after relinquishing his light heavyweight title following a controversial unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes in 2020.

St-Pierre has been impressed with what he has seen from heavyweight Jones so far and believes the former two-time UFC champion and pound-for-pound king ‘has all the skills’ to conquer the heavyweight division as he did at light heavyweight, defending his titles 13 times and ruling the throne from 2011-2015 and 2018-2020.
