“I Will Try To Do More Legally Controversial Sh*t”- Jon Jones Says He Will Follow Conor McGregor’s Style in His Next Fight

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, recently appeared at the UFC Hall Of Fame induction. ‘Bones’ discussed many things along with his future in the UFC. The former champion is eyeing a comeback in late 2022. He said that he will look to work on the build-up of his next fight and wants to follow the style of none other than Conor McGregor.

Jones is expected to take on whoever the UFC heavyweight champion is once he is ready to return. The likes of Francis Ngannou, Ciryl Gane, and Stipe Miocic are all feasible options for Jones. So, it will be interesting to see who he takes on once he is back. However, the former champion said that he has been assured by the UFC President Dana White to be paid more in his next fight.

“Dana, he guaranteed me he would give me an increase in my next fight. So, I am really excited about that. I think it’s going to be pay-per-view based. So, I am gonna have to work for the money I get. I’m gonna have to sell the fight. I think that’s something I haven’t been good at in the past. You look at guys like McGregor, who just talks so much s*it. He’s so good at it, so good at marketing himself,” said Jones.

“I’ve always just focused on winning and I think when I come back as a heavyweight I will try to do more legally controversial sh*t,” he added further.

Jones also revealed that he currently weighs in at 255 lbs. However, he is looking to add more size to his frame and weigh 270 lbs before competing. He wants to cut from that weight and even said that he wants to be the biggest and most skillful heavyweight in the Octagon.

Despite his recent absence, Jones remains one of the very best fighters on the entire roster. So, it will be interesting to see how he fares once he starts competing with his new frame.
