Jones, who according to UFC President Dana White may be returning soon, enjoyed the action and gave particular props to his longtime rival Cormier, who suffered an obvious eye injury during the fight. But the 205-pound champ also predicted he could take another UFC title home if he moved up to the heavyweight division.
“Heavyweight world championships I will be seeing you real soon,” Jones tweeted after the bout, which ended in a unanimous decision for Miocic.
Here’s what Jones tweeted as the fight played out.

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
