Future UFC light heavyweight champions could do some charitable work courtesy of Jon Jones.
Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones vacated the title on Monday ahead of a planned move to heavyweight. The long-time ruler of 205 is issuing a challenge to all future UFC light-heavyweight champions. Jones offered to donate $100,000 to charity if any future light heavyweight champion can break his title defense record.
Jones made the challenge through Twitter:
First light heavyweight to win six championships in a row I’ll pay $100,000 to whatever charity of their liking. I’ll be waiting

Was going to challenge a light heavyweight to beat my world championship record but we all know that’s probably not happening in this lifetime.

Seriously, I challenge you guys to go out there and be great too. It’s going to be awesome watching with that cheeseburger in my hand

UFC has not announced its plans for the vacant light heavyweight title; however, but a fight between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz, set for UFC 253, seems to be the frontrunner to crown a new light heavyweight champion.
