At 11-1, with the only blemish being a disqualification after landing an illegal elbow in the process of finishing Matt Hamill a year ago, Jon Jones has rapidly moved his way up the contendership ladder with back-to-back TKOs in the first round against Brandon Vera and Vladimir Matyushenko.
With a scheduled fight against undefeated 205-pounder Ryan Bader on February 5 in Las Vegas including a possible title-shot if he notches the twelfth victory of his career at UFC 126, Jones has of things to look forward to at the moment not to mention the possibility of a move to heavyweight at some point down the road.
Jones took to his Twitter to address the issue after mentioning he was currently walking around at 227 lbs. while teasing that he may still be growing into his adult frame.
On the subject of heavyweight, the dynamic New Yorker replied, I can see that happening in 2012.
