Jon Jones is scheduled to defend the light heavyweight belt on April 17th against Chael Sonnen, but the North American is already dreaming of another title. Despite speculation of a possible confrontation against Anderson Silva, Jones is eyeing the reign of another Brazilian.

In an interview with the North American newspaper "Usa Today", "Bones", as he is known, stated that his next big goal is to also win the heavyweight belt, which belongs to the Brazilian Junior Gypsy. Excited, he spared no words to make it clear that he intends to become an MMA legend.

“I don’t want to keep putting limits on anything, realizing that the sky is the limit. I want it all and I've been saying that since day one. I want to be the best. I want to be the record holder for everything. I want to be heavyweight and light heavyweight champion. I want all of that,” Jones said.

Despite the interest in the top division, Jones recognizes that the heavyweight category has big names. Declaring respect for all athletes in the category, he made it clear that his desire to move up in weight must be done calmly and at the right time.

“I respect the champions and the guys in the heavyweight division. I know that at my current size, the odds would not be in my favor. So I have to do it right, with a lot of passion and have fun. I will do it correctly when the time comes. I’m going to give it my all and I hope to be a winner,” he added.
