“The current champion (heavyweight, Stipe Miocic) is 38 years old, I am only 33. Mark my words. I will have that belt. There is no rush. I'm going to keep shaping my body, I'm going to focus on doing all the right things outside of the octagon and, hopefully, one day the company will value me more,” he declared.Bones'.
Considered by many to be the best fighter of all time, Jones dominated the light heavyweight division for around 10 years. With an established hegemony, the North American announced the migration to the heavyweight division in August 2020.
There is still no official date for when 'Bones' will debut in the new group. Ultimate's president, Dana White, however, has already made it public that Jon's first appearance in the group will be for the title, facing the winner of Stipe Miocic e Francis Ngannou, which exchange forces in the UFC 260.
The current champion is 38, I'm only 33, Mark my words eventually I will have that belt around my waist. There's no rush. I'll just keep building my body, I'll focus on doing all the right things outside of the octagon, and hopefully one day the company will see more value in me. https://t.co/zAZQV7fE5b
