I know most want Jon Jones to move up to Heavyweight, but I don't think that would be a good idea for him.
He doesn't have the power he used to have early in his career as a striker anymore & while he has a very tough chin & would be much faster than any HW he'd face, I'm not so sure he could deal with those early exchanges vs HW a power puncher. He would have to evade & gas out his opponents at HW & hope to catch them in the later rounds.
The most intriguing fight for Jon next, is 205 phenom Johnny Walker, I think Jones could beat him if he gets past that first round fury from Walker, but it would still be an interesting fight.
