UFC champ Jon Jones could move to Heavyweight in 2013

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones participated in a Fan Q&A yesterday in Chicago for UFC on Fox 6: Johnson vs. Dodson and said something very interesting about his plans to move up to the Heavyweight division, “I think heavyweight is going to come along around 2014 – maybe even late this year. Who knows. It’ll definitely be a fight for the fans.”

Jones is currently coaching the 17th season of The Ultimate Fighter opposite Chael Sonnen whom he will face for the LHW title at UFC 159 in April.
