Legendary Brazilian MMA fighter Fabricio Werdum believes that the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones is capable of taking the heavyweight title. Moreover, the 43-year-old fighter is confident he will be able to “submit” Jones if their fight takes place one day.

“I believe Jones will become the UFC heavyweight champion. If I win the PFL Heavyweight Grand Prix it would be great to fight him in a super unification. I have no doubt that if I approach the fight with Jones in the same form in which I was in the fight against Gustafsson, I will defeat him by submission,” Werdum said in an interview to Sherdog.
