Gilbert Burns thinks Jon Jones’ move up to heavyweight will end in disaster

Burns believes Ngannou will avenge his loss to Miocic and, if matched up against Jones, is confident ‘The Predator’ will go on to KO ‘Bones’ too.
Such a result would be disastrous for Jones’ career, Burns says, and claims the UFC veteran would be better suited at light heavyweight against either Israel Adesanya on Jan Blachowicz.
