As expected, Jon Jones will start his journey in Heavyweight with the winner in the battle between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 at the end of this month. Meanwhile, Derreick Lewis, with a series of 4 consecutive wins, said that he would most likely encounter Jones in the future, maybe in the battle of belt, possibly in a war for the top position.
And in any case, “black monster” Derrick Lewis will be ready for the confrontation with Jon Jones – the boxer who once dominated the P4P rankings.
“Jon Jones is a very good guy, I have no hatred for Jones. I just know we will be able to have a future match,” Derrick Lewis said in Joe Rogan's recent podcast.
“I can even imagine what strategic Jones will use to deal with me. His goal will be the kicks on my legs, making me lose. I don't think Jones will try to take down with me, maybe he will keep the distance and attack me more from a long range.”
Joe Rogan has some controversies about Jon Jones, will not try Wrestling with Derrick Lewis. Must know, Lewis had previously lost to Daniel Cormier by Wrestling in 2018, so Lewis must not be too strong Wrestling. While talking about things, Jon Jones used Wrestling to many other veteran rivals, such as Rampage Jackson.
However, Derick Lewis still believes in his own judgment.
“Wanting me, the opponent will have to come close to me,” Lewis explained. “But I always like the opponent to enter the close range, let me send a dizziness. Whoever wants to try narrowing the distance with me, just try, I believe it will be the last second he still stays on the floor.”
