Jon Jones 2017 - you decide - HW or LHW?

[DFW4L]

Assuming JJ comes back in a few months, and knowing he is open to fighting at HW, what would you rather see his next three fights be?

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Move up and fight at HW, if he can dominate the Heavy's like he did the LHW division it will cement his place in MMA history as one of the greatest ever. (despite being a really really big POS of a person.)

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Jon Jones Vs. Francis Ngannou
Jon Jones Vs. Derick Lewis
Jon Jones Vs. Stefan Struve

That will build up Jones record in the Heavyweight division, and as long as Cain gets a fight or two in and wins fans will be more then excited to see this showdown.


Finally end of 2017 - Jones Vs. Cain

This feels like a shill thread.

I dont care for a dc fight really. But id like to see him fight gus and rumble then move to heavyweight

I also think something like this. One-two fights at LHW against the top dogs then move up.

 

[dacofty]

there should be a In Jail option

I think it matters not, he cannot be beaten if he prepares for you.......it's very similar to when Leigh has a stance against your argument......son, you best just pack it in, only difference is Jones isn't talking in this forum, he's beating your ass and could cut your head off if you int careful.....

if JJ goes up to HW and fights that caliber of opponents for his first three it will only make him look bad if u compare him to other fighters that moved up and challenged themselves against champions and contenders... although the jump from LHW to HW is no joke, it'd be sad to have the #1 LHW facing low ranked HWs for more than his first fight at the weight class

I would love for Jones to move up to HW. First of all, it would screw with DC's head so hard as he literally never gets the chance to run that one back. Second, Jones has already cleaned house at LHW and there's not much talent on the horizon so there are no big money fights left outside of rematches and maybe Johnson. HW has a young champ and some competitors who draw big money. Third, Jackson/Wink has now seen their two top HW contenders vanquished and neither will probably get a title shot again for awhile.

All conditions are ripe for Jones to go to HW, particularly returning from this layoff. He could face Werdum in his first fight in the division to test himself and that fight seems pretty winnable for him right now. He beats Werdum who's ranked in the top 2 and it perfectly sets him up vs. Stipe/Cain winner. I'm interested to see it happen. For all the talk of HW being thin, Jones has essentially shut down LHW. No better time to move on.

Just go to HW. What does he have left to prove at LHW? No other LHW even comes close to him.

He should definitely take on a borderline top 10 HW first before going for the title.

 

[Jesus X]

Would be fun to see him at HW it would also open up LHW to cool match ups in his absence.
