If Jones does decide to take a fight at heavyweight, it will be because the right situation presents itself. He looks towards a UFC Hall of Famer for how he wants to guide his own career.
I kind of like how Randy (Couture) has done it all throughout his MMA career, Jones said. With the right fight, I would definitely take a fight at heavyweight, but my dreams and my goals are all at the light heavyweight division, and I don’t want anything to get twisted saying I want to fight Cain (Velasquez) or any of the top heavyweights. If there was a cool fight stylistically for me at heavyweight, I’d give something to the fans and fight at a bigger weight.
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has taken the road to a higher weight class for challenges like facing former titleholder Forrest Griffin, but is a natural middleweight. Jones believes he’s in the same boat.
Exactly, that’s what I’m aiming for, Jones mentioned when Anderson Silva’s brief move to light heavyweight happened.
