Jon Jones is set to move up to heavyweight and the rumors of his abilities have been swirling. Tai Tuivasa, a potential opponent, had quite a lot to say about the former UFC light heavyweight now that they're in the same weight class.
There are a lot of questions about Jon Jones' greatness and many are curious to see how he would do at heavyweight. Tai Tuivasa can't help but admit the former UFC champion is the greatest of all time, despite his personality.
“Jones is probably the best MMA fighter of all time,” UFC heavyweight Tuivasa said on The AllStar’s Fine Dining with Fighters. “Doesn’t matter fucking [if he’s at light heavyweight or higher]. He’s still a dickhead. He is what he is, I think he’s the greatest MMA fighter of all time but if you’re a fucking idiot, you’re a fucking idiot. Hitting your missus or whatever, blah, blah, blah. I don’t know the story. Everyone’s got their own things, if you’re an idiot, you’re an idiot. That’s it. But he still is who he is.
“If I ever got the opportunity, I’d fight him. I do this to say like, ‘One day, I’ll fight the champion.’ Well, fuck, I fought him. Win or lose, maybe I might win, maybe I might lose, at least I can say I got to have a crack and some guys I’ve beaten, some guys I haven’t. That’s how I kind of live my life. If I ever had a chance, of course, I would.”
Jon Jones currently appears set to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. Tai Tuivasa's future is a little bit unclear but he looks set for big things when he returns.
