UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones already has a big fight lined up…

There was far more at stake during UFC 214’s main event than just the light-heavyweight title. Between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones was a river of bad blood, but even their feud was not the end of the story.

As well as the title and the bragging rights, Jon Jones’ future, and that of the division, was on the line. After years of troubles and failed drug tests, ‘Bones’ needed to return with a bang.

With the pressure on, and ‘DC’ looking in great form, Jones delivered with a stunning third round knockout.

Time For Brock Lesnar?

Earlier this week Jones had called for a superfight with Brock Lesnar. The ex-UFC heayweight champion and WWE star said he’d also be game for that fight. Then, after his huge UFC 214 win, ‘Bones’ again called for a tilt with the heavyweight star:

“Brock Lesnar, if you wanna know what it’s like to get your ass kicked by a man who weighs 40 pounds less than you, meet me in the octagon.”

 

Brock Lesnar is being heavily linked to a UFC return, and against the pound-for-pound best fighter…

Lesnar’s Response Was Pretty Cold

Firing back again at Jones, Lesnar had the following to say in response to the re-crowned 205-pound champion:

Lesnar told The Associated Press:

“Be careful what you wish for, young man,” Lesnar replied.

Alexander Gustafsson also commented, saying Jones should ‘stop calling out retired fighters,’ as he had unfinished business with the new champion.

Alexander Gustafsson is back in the title picture again, and now Jon Jones is the champion again, could we see ‘Bones’ vs. Gus 2?

Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson 2?

Many fans believe Gus gave Jones the hardest fight of his career. Some even believe ‘The Mauler’ actually won at UFC 165. The bout still stands as one of the greatest in the division’s history.

But, and it’s a big one, money talks, and nothing screams dollars for donuts like a WWE superstar against a much smaller Jon Jones. It’s sad, but it’s damn true. Here are the already released odds for Lesnar vs. Jon Jones via Best Fight Odds on Twitter:
