‘Bones’ has been atop the LHW division for as long as we can remember and during this period, the speculation of Jones moving up to Heavyweight has also been rampant.
The Light Heavyweight Champion has himself claimed that he intends to move up once he finishes his upcoming assignment against Dominick Reyes. However, Dana White thinks otherwise.
During an interview with ESPN, the UFC boss revealed that Jones feels comfortable and any talk of a potential move could only be discussed after he wraps up his next title defence against Reyes.
White also hyped up ‘The Devastator’ as a tough challenger for Jones. He said that while the fans may not consider Reyes to be a big-name opponent for Jones, the title contender is the real deal.
Jones will defend his title against Reyes at UFC 247 in February and if he manages to come away with a win, a highly-anticipated move to Heavyweight could be on the horizon.
