Jon Jones tweeted during a play by play of Stipe Miocic’s win over Daniel Cormier for the UFC heavyweight title implying that he would be joining the heavy weight ranks real soon.
Heavyweight world championships I will be seeing you real soon. Victorious

He continued to tweet about how he could beat Stipe Miocic and then become the baddest man on the planet.
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

Jones was linked with a fight with Francis Ngannou but Dana White claimed that Jones asked for 25 million to move up to heavy weight.
Jones also said he would not fight until his row with the UFC was over bur it appears Miocic’s win inspired a change in heart.
