Jon Jones is already targeting a super fight with Stipe Miocic after the latter’s landmark victory at UFC 252. He took to Twitter immediately after the fight, calling ‘Stone Cold’ out for the super fight for whenever the time comes.

While he did call Stipe out, he also was all praise for the Heavyweight GOAT’s strategy coming into this trilogy’s conclusion against Daniel ‘DC‘ Cormier.

“Avoid Stipe’s right hand, I’m too fast, I’ll be too strong when the time is right and have way too much energy. Soon and very soon I’ll be considered the baddest man on this planet.”

Bones‘ has been aching for a shift up to Heavyweight for quite some time now. His domination of the Light Heavyweight division has been something that no other athlete has matched. He has wiped out the entire division twice, now.

Thus, he believes, and so do pundits, that the only way for him to grow into a better, more accomplished fighter is by moving up to fight the ‘Big Boys’. Moreover, it seems like he has already begun training.

Jon Jones working towards becoming the greatest Heavyweight of all time?

As is evident through his Tweet, Jones is working hard towards becoming the most phenomenal Heavyweight the world has ever seen.

His fluid motion and never-ending gas tank couples with brilliant technique have already wreaked havoc amongst the light heavyweights.

Now, it seems that he intends to do the same with much more power and speed behind him with the Heavyweights. In fact, he has started working towards his shift already.

Anticipating the inevitable move-up, Jones’ strategy has been to avoid losing out on his maneuverability and speed whilst gaining strength and speed. Thus, one sees in his workout videos that while he focuses on squatting heavy weights, he also does his fair share of explosive workout.

Truly, a bulked up Jon Jones will be an unbelievable upgrade to the fighter who is already considered the GOAT of MMA. His technique, skills, and ferocity will bring along a nightmare when the addition of strength sets in.

Do you think Jon Jones will be able to beat the Heavyweight GOAT, Stipe Miocic?
