There were some rumblings of this when Francis left but TBH this was the case as soon as Reem and Werdum aged out which was 2017ish
Both those guys and Stipe at the time would hand Jones losses
That was the last time for Jones to really test himself. He did the smart thing and did the Floyd strategy (never face anyone who poses a real threat).
Stipe now is old. It's not compelling at all.
2013/2014 Would've been the most compelling time for him to move.
JDS, Cain, Werdum, Reem, Mir, Arlovski, Stipe, Barnett were all still very good at the time.
Jones would not beat all those guys at that time.
