Velasquez-Jones? Possible?

Seeing as the HW has been shocked by Overeem dropping the ball, could we see Jones move up to HW to fight Cain for the title? (just like the Aldo-Edgar super fight)

Doubtful. I get the feeling Dana doesn't want Jones at HW anytime soon. He's going to push contenders like Gustafsson, Mousasi and Glover who present no real threat. Jones is a cash cow at LHW, he'd probably lose that status at HW once he gets knocked silly

These two will definitely cross paths at some point, since it's inevitable that Jones will make the move to HW.

Inevitable as in as Jones gets older he'll have issues cutting weight to 205?

I don't think Jones ever goes up to HW, he has no reason to, he is the undisputed king of his division and has no reason to go up to try to win a title.... he already has one.. so no this doesn't happen

Jones moving at HW would be a disaster ending of career worse than Fedor's, he wont handle with Cain's berserk mode of 24/7 in ur face, he should remain at LHW.

The UFC wont allow another one of their overhyped ''bruthas'' to be beaten down and exposed worse than overoid was by bigfoot hahahaha. MexiCain would rearrange bones jones rubber, simian facial features haha.

Gus: 12 of 15 wins by finish
Mousasi: 29 of 33 wins by finish
Glover: 17 of 20 wins by finish

Gus gets taken down and hellbowed EASILY.

Glover hasn't shown any stand out skills that would be effective against Jones. Striking defence lacks, not explosive or fast enough to get inside, his takedowns aren't that great. Jones picks him apart and finishes him via TKO or late Sub once Glover gasses.

Gegard is overrated, can't defend takedowns and is too small for LHW while Jones is massive. would be surprised if Gus doesn't expose him.
