As per McGregor’s tweet, ‘Bones’, “Must shake repetitive iddybiddy knee kick habit he has, learn to box backwards, take divisional jump fearlessly, then most important of all, win it in full style.”
However, winning matters more, as according to ‘Bones’ tweets, the number of wins are more important than the manner of the win.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if Jones makes the move to Heavyweight. He has been hinting at it, as he has nothing left to prove at 205 lbs. However, he expressed disappointment at the UFC stinging over a potential clash with ‘The Predator.’

Furthermore, the lack of fights ‘Bones’ has won in style only serves to showcase his Fight IQ. It shows that he can go deep and do enough to get the win.
