Jon Jones points to two factors that led to him moving to heavyweight.
A longtime UFC light heavyweight champion, Jones defended his belt 11 times overall over multiple title reigns. He went through two generations of 205-pound talent – from Lyoto Machida to “Rampage” Jackson to Rashad Evans to Alexander Gustaffson to Daniel Cormier – before his eventual final title defense against Dominick Reyes in February 2020. After that, he relinquished his title.
