Jon Jones returned to top form at UFC 232, finishing Alexander Gustafsson in the third round to capture the vacant light heavyweight championship at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Jones is now a three-time UFC light heavyweight champion, but the Jackson-Wink product has no intention of moving up to heavyweight to become the next ‘champ champ.’
Daniel Cormier, who voluntarily relinquished his light heavyweight title on the eve of UFC 232, is the current heavyweight champion, but that isn’t enough to tempt ‘Bones’ to move up a weight class.
Speaking to the media at the UFC 232 post-fight conference, Jones, who beat ‘DC’ at UFC 182 and UFC 214 (UFC 214 win overturned to a No Contest after Jones tested positive for steroids), said he wouldn’t want to ‘destroy’ Cormier’s entire legacy by beating the former Olympian in two separate weight classes.
