“My main curiosity of one day making 205 is not about how I would feel at that weight, but to be able to face the man that is the greatest of the moment, Jon Jones. Who wouldn’t like to fight Jon Jones one day? I’m no different. One of the goals before I end my career would be to fight Jon Jones. But that’s part of the plans, our wishes, my dreams, so let’s see how things play out.”
‘Cigano’ did say he would need time to strategize and make weight, but the opportunity to take on ‘Bones’ would fuel him to work harder. He has had 28 fights in MMA. 21 of them have come in the UFC and they have all been at Heavyweight. If the bout ever takes place it will be his UFC debut at Light Heavyweight. He had 4 Light heavyweight fights in 2007 and holds a 3-1 record.
‘Cigano’ has no fights at present. However, ‘Bones’ expressed interest in facing Jan Blachowicz. He may also have to face Dominick Reyes in a rematch. Hence, the ‘Cigano’ match may not happen this year.
