Jon Jones thinks Conor McGregor could beat Tyron Woodley
Suspended UFC fighter Jon Jones took to Twitter on Tuesday, answering questions from fans on everything related to the MMA world.
Jones commented on UFC 205, Miesha Tate's retirement, and Yoel Romero's impressive performance, but his most interesting take: Conor McGregor beating welterweight champ Tyron Woodley.
@JonnyBones Do you think Conor could beat Woodley? ☺️

Yes especially if Wood continues this overhand right obsession. https://t.co/bVk6u1Lw0B

Jones backed off slightly from his claim later, but still believes the former featherweight could jump all the way up to 170 and grab that belt.
I'm not saying Connor would win, I'm saying he could win if wood doesn't use all the tools he's capable of https://t.co/qFe8sVrKR7

Earlier, when asked what he thought of Woodley's performance, Jones denied even knowing who that is.
Not sure I know who that is https://t.co/wV5CXO6wxC
