And even the name of the North American Jon Jones, current champion of the light heavyweight division, was scouted on the internet as a possible replacement.
In turn, Jones stated that he would like to fight for the heavyweight belt, but does not plan on facing junior gypsy right now.
“To challenge him out of the blue would be like, 'Where does Jones come from? Why does Jones want to fight me?' I'm not saying I'm afraid of him, I'm sure I'm not. If it were someone else, I would definitely want to fight. But it’s Junior (Cigano)”, said Jones.
The first defense of the belt junior gypsy is scheduled to take place at UFC 146, on May 27th, in Las Vegas, in the United States. Already Jon Jones, will put the light heavyweight title on the line against Rashad evans at UFC 145, April 21, in Atlanta.
