Joshua Van has his sights set on becoming a part of history and being aligned with Jon Jones, but he is on a bit of a tight timeline to achieve this feat.

Pursuing a championship belt is desirable to fighters for obvious reasons, but a title victory at this juncture would place the surging 125-pounder into a historical context with Jon Jones.
