Jones: I would fight Cain Velasquez in a heartbeat
Jon Jones: “I would fight Cain Velasquez in a heartbeat. I really would. I would love to fight AKA’s best athletes and I believe I’d defeat them all. “
Jon Jones has successfully defended his UFC light heavyweight title eight times and although a few challenges to his title still exist, the idea of a move to heavyweight has intrigued fans and the media alike. Jones could likely even immediately challenge Cain Velasquez in a super fight and that is something he would jump at the opportunity for:
“I would fight Cain Velasquez in a heartbeat. I really would. I would love to fight AKA’s (American Kickboxing Academy) best athletes and I believe I’d defeat them all. I believe our team’s the best in the world,” Jones said during the UFC 182 post fight press conference.
“With that being said my maturity has allowed me to make weight a lot easier. This camp around being three weeks outside of the camp, I started having to force myself to eat more to keep my weight up. I was losing weight too fast. Fighting at heavyweight would be surely to entertain the fights and it would have to be against the perfect opponent.”
