Jones wants Gus and Hendo after pathetic excuse for matchup vs Sonnen

Jon Jones has been one of the busiest champions in UFC history.

And if he does everything he wants to before a likely move up to heavyweight next year, the light-heavyweight titleholder isn't likely to get much downtime.

While potential super fights and a Chael Sonnen (28-12-1 MMA, 6-5 UFC) title fight are on the horizon, Jones (17-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) admits he'd still like to fight 205-pounders Dan Henderson (29-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Alexander Gustafsson (14-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC).

Jones mentioned both potential during Tuesday's MetroPCS online chat with UFC President Dana White and Sonnen. Jones, of course, is currently taping "The Ultimate Fighter 17." He and Sonnen are opposing head coaches on the reality show, and they're slated to fight on April 27 following the show's conclusion on FX.

The choice of Sonnen, a recent UFC middleweight title challenger who's never won a UFC fight at light heavyweight, for a title fight was met with some criticism. Some of it came from Henderson, who claimed the booking "degrades the sport of MMA."

But Jones hasn't shut the door on a potential meeting with Henderson, who was slated to fight the champ this past month at UFC 151 before a knee injury forced the challenger off the card.

"I'm not disappointed I didn't get the Dan Henderson fight," said Jones, who's also targeted for a super fight with middleweight champion Anderson Silva. "But I think that's a fight that's inevitable. Everybody wants to see it. Dan Henderson is undoubtably one of the best fighters in MMA history, and it will happen. Hopefully I'll fight Chael and then defeat Chael and then defeat Dan Henderson."

First, though, Henderson has to get by Lyoto Machida. They're expected to fight early next year in a title eliminator.

After that, if Jones sticks to his plan, it'll likely be time to move up to heavyweight. But if not, or if it's delayed until 2014, he'd like to test his chops against fast-rising contender Gustafsson.

"I think he's great," Jones said. I can't wait to fight him. A lot of people say the reason why I win is because I have long arms. When I fight Gustafsson, that will be behind me. So I can't wait to prove all the critics wrong."

I now want Machida to beat Hendo so we don't have to see him fight bones. Bring on Spider and Gus. Then Bones gets welcomed to HW by Cormier.

Fuck you. Hendo winning the LHW title and knocking out Bones will be EPIC.

You go fuck yourself right now! Hendo is one of the GOATS, but I question his ability at his age coming off an injury. If he can dominate Machida then I would be down to see him fight Bones. I think machida will retire him like thatother 59 year old wrestler he crain kicked in the chin.

Wanna bet?
