While fans have long speculated about a potential superfight between UFC champions Cain Velasquez and Jon Jones , the reigning heavyweight titleholder doesn’t see the bout happening anytime soon. This past November, 205-pound champ Jones (20-1 MMA, 14-1 MMA) told MMAjunkie he was targeting a future showdown with heavyweight titleholder Velasquez (13-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) within the next two years. However, just this past month, Jones changed his tune and said he was no longer interested in the matchup . Velasquez remains optimistic the fight could still occur, but he understands Jones’ statement – mainly because he feels “Bones” has a series of difficult challenges ahead of him in his own weight class, including a fight with American Kickboxing Academy teammate Daniel Cormier.
