"I don't know when I'm going to move up in weight. I've entertained the thought of going to heavyweight so many times and I think right now with all due respect to Anthony [Johnson], I believe I'll win that fight and get into super fights and rematches. But if I do go to heavyweight or when I do go to heavyweight, I do believe I have the skill set to beat Cain... Cain's a magnificent opponent. My main reason for believing I'll beat Cain is his size. He's not one of these massive heavyweights who's going to just out weigh me and out power me in every situation. He's a guy I can totally compete with, that I'm smart enough to compete with him... When it happens. It will be a good one."
-Jon Jones again discussed a future move to heavyweight and why he thinks he could beat Cain Velasquez during Saturday's "Welcome to the Show" press conference in Los Angeles (via FoxSports.com).
Penick's Analysis: We're at the point with Jones discussing a potential heavyweight move that, until it happens, it doesn't warrant as much comment. A fight between he and Cain Velasquez would be huge for the UFC, but he's gone back and forth on whether he's actually going to do that. It would be great to see, but don't get too excited about it until he officially makes the move up. Still, given Cain isn't the most massive heavyweight in the field, that fight will indeed be massively intriguing if it comes to fruition.
