Jon Jones was tweeting up a storm following the conclusion to the epic trilogy that had gripped the MMA world. What’s more, he aimed right at Stipe and called out the undisputed champion in a rather passive-aggressive manner. Moreover, his statements caught wind amongst fight fans who are champing at the bit to see Jon at Heavyweight.
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

Although the former 205-pound champion teased the move frequently, he never followed through. However, it appears as though that’s about to change as he promptly relinquished his gold strap and announced his move up. Additionally, the vacant 205-pound gold strap will be contested for by Jan Blachowicz and Dominick Reyes at UFC 253.
Just got off the phone with @Ufc, today I confirm that I’m vacating the light heavyweight championship. It’s officially up for grabs. It’s been an amazing journey, sincere thank you to all my competition, Ufc and most importantly you fans.
