Jackson weighed Jones' chances at heavyweight

American mixed martial arts veteran Quinton Jackson commented on former UFC bantamweight champion Jon Jones' move to the heavyweight division.

"John is the best fighter I've ever fought. Will he be able to compete at heavyweight? We don't know anything about his chin. There have been rumors that he doesn't have a strong chin. Heavyweights hit harder, but Jones is smart.

I had a hard time getting to him, he wouldn't let me hit him. Of course, he's a dirty fighter. When you get close to him, he starts doing pokes in the eyes or kicking you in the butt with his knee. Heavyweights are different. They're monsters and they hit hard. If they catch you, it's over," Jackson said in an interview with TMZ.

As a reminder, Jones recently announced that his heavyweight debut will take place on December 10 at UFC 282 in Las Vegas. The name of his opponent is still unknown.
