The former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones will be making his much anticipated Heavyweight debut in the mid of this year. Dana White is clear that UFC is targeting to book a fight between the winner of Miocic vs Ngannou 2 against Jon Jones.

There are many speculations about Jones’s Heavyweight move but his teammate and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm claims that Jones will start his new reign in the Heavyweight division.

In his recent interview with MMA Junkie, Holm says, “He’s putting in the time to get stronger, and I know that he’s going to make this change and really embrace it and jump in 100 percent and do everything he needs to be ready,”

“I always have so much confidence in Jon because it’s almost like he doesn’t know how to lose. When he goes in there, it’s almost expected that he’s going to win by so many people. If there’s any fight that somebody gives him a little bit of a fight, then they’re like, ‘I don’t know’ – just because it’s a close fight.”

“… He’s a champion for a reason. He’s not going to go to heavyweight and just do it half-assed. He’s going to jump in. We all know he’s not just going to go in thinking he wants to just try it out and he’s going to go with a purpose.”

“He’s going to go with intent. He’s going to go with the will to want to do it. In order to do so, he’s going to do it right. That’s what he’s always done.”

Holm said Jonny Bones’ skills are on another level

UFC’s Heavyweight roster holds many of the giants in the game and people believe that they can be a bad matchup for Jones. Holm also shared her views about this saying his skillset is on a whole new level.

Holm added, “I don’t know how many fighters are actually taller than him and he’s very strong, His skill set, I believe, is just better. He has a better skill set. He’s already as tall as them. I don’t think people really think about that a lot.”

“It’s like, ‘Oh, he’s going up in weight, and these guys are big.’ It’s like, ‘Yeah, they are big, but Jon is a big guy.’ If you’ve ever stood next to him, he’s a big guy. He’s not a small 205er. He’s tall. He’s long. He’s skilled.”

“He’s got more speed. Like I said, his skill is just on another level – so I think he can go in and do very well.”
