Jon Jones receives fight call-out from new UFC champion following title win

Jamahal Hill, the UFC's new light-heavyweight champion, has called out legendary former champion Jon Jones after his world title win over Glover Texeira earlier this month.

Jones, considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, has moved up to heavyweight for his comeback fight on March 4 when he will face Ciryl Gane at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, he is known for his fights at 205lb, and Hill would be willing to make the move up to go for a second belt.

First, Hill insists that he will defend his title on a number of occasions before he makes the move up to heavyweight where he would search out Jones. It's a regular occurrence in the modern UFC for a champion to go up in weight and pursue a second belt, but his focus is currently on his own division before he moves up.
