Jon Jones UFC light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones  is still thinking about moving up a division, changing his mind after previously writing off fights at heavyweight . At a press conference this past Friday in Los Angeles, Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) indicated he’s interested in fighting in the big-man division and believes he could dethrone champ Cain Velasquez (13-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC). Jones, 27, fights No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in UFC 187’s pay-per-view headliner on May 23, but he remains restless when it comes to his longterm outlook. At the “UFC: Welcome to the Show” event promoting the promotion’s spring event schedule, Jones first poked fun at a reporter’s question of a possible move to heavyweight and quipped, “Aw, you’re going to ask me that in California? C’mon.” “I don’t know when I’m going to move up in weight,” Jones continued.
