Jon Jones has many strengths but keeping a secret isn’t one of them.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion has revealed his very specific plans for his future in the light heavyweight division.
Jones was infamously stripped of his belt last April after his role in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in a pregnant woman breaking her arm.
On his hiatus from the sport, ‘Bones’ has significantly bulked up which led some fans to believe that he would return as a heavyweight after accomplishing everything there is to do at light heavyweight.

But, alas, a rematch announcement for Jones against reigning 205lb champion Daniel Cormier is imminent and Jones has gone a step further by revealing his next three opponents.
Jones was answering fans’ questions on Twitter when he claimed that he anticipated a bout against top contender Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson and then to accept a rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, who was defeated in a five-round war with Jones in 2013.
Having already beaten both Cormier and Gustafsson, a win over Johnson could be seen as Jones having cleaned out the entire division.
But many regard ‘Rumble’ as the biggest threat to Jones’ legacy as his knockout power is not to be sniffed at and Jones revealed that he was impressed by Johnson’s win over Ryan Bader.
