Mike Tyson gave a candid assessment of Jon Jones' chances of winning the UFC heavyweights. In a face-to-face chat with UFC Chairman Dana Bai, Tyson expressed his concerns about Jones' decision. After dominating the light heavyweights, Bone Jones is expected to make his heavyweight debut later this year. His opponent is not entirely certain yet, but it looks like he will face UFC 260 winner Mioch or Nagano.
While he may be one of the contenders for the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title, boxing legend Tyson worries about bones rising to the heavyweight ranks, just as middleweight world champion Adisaya has played all over the world, but the weight gap between the weights of the weights lost to the Polish sledgehammer in the light heavyweights is difficult to cross.
Tyson said worriedly: "One day, someone like Nagano will hit him." Then we'll see if he can withstand the heavyweights. The heavy punches of nagano are very lethal, and they will attack him, so we have to see how the bones fight. ”
Tyson was right. The UFC heavyweights are hitting harder, and while Bones has undergone an epic physical transformation in preparation, it remains to be seen whether Jones can withstand that power. However, he himself considered himself well prepared to challenge the heavyweights.
"The current champion is 38 and I'm only 33, remember my words, eventually I'll have a world gold belt tied around my waist, don't worry," Bone wrote on Twitter. "I'm going to keep exercising my body and I'm going to focus on doing all the right things, outside of the octagon cage, hopefully one day the company will see me more value."
Jones last played in February 2020, when he beat Dominique Reyes at UFC 247. There's no doubt that it's going to be a huge challenge, but if Jones' career shows us anything, it's that overcoming adversity is something he's very good at.
