Now that former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is back in the mix, many possibilities have opened up for him. One option he is looking at is a rematch against Alexander Gustafsson, and of course, there is the third fight against Daniel Cormier.

DC has 1 hitter quitter power at HW though. Will Jones?

Jones put 2 beatdowns on Cormier. Let's not act like Jones doesn't cut to get to LHW. Don't let your hate of JJ get in the way of common sense

Does he cut as much as DC? Nope, why? Because he's not a heavyweight he's just tall. Is he a scumbag? Yes. Is he a rat? Yes. Is he the best to ever put on a pair of gloves? Yes.

Strip DC at lhw so he can set up jones vs gus for the lhw belt, then send jones up to hw to challenge for the hw title, while he still holds the lhw strap? Makes perfect sense.
