Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) light heavyweight up-and-comer Pat Cummins just put the promotion's light heavyweight division on notice.

Well, sort of.

"Durkin" has now won two straight after a debut shellacking at the hands of ex-teammate Daniel Cormier, and told the gang at Submission Radio he's off to the races. Especially now that he can train properly for each fight, something not afforded to him for his UFC 170 call-up.

And he's going straight to the top.

"I actually like the fact that Jon Jones is looking at me like I was some kind of, you know pop up, quick 'one and done' kind of guy, when you know realistically I wanna challenge for the belt. So if he's gonna overlook me that's great, because it's going to catch up with him eventually. I may be the tortoise in this race, but he's gonna fall down at some point. After I saw Anthony's fight my coach and I looked at each other and said 'man, I would like that match up.' Because really for me it's weathering the storm, you know. He's an explosive guy and we all saw what he did to Nogueira in just over a minute. So, you know I think I can weather that storm and I think conditioning is still his issue. I still think if someone pushes him hard, he's gonna have those same problems that he used to have when he was making 170, and I'd like be the guy to exploit that weakness."

Jones took a potshot at Cummins while dissing Cormier, who fights "Bones" at UFC 178.

Cummins (6-1) is nowhere near the top 10 of his division, but still believes he can run with the big dogs, like reborn power-puncher Anthony Johnson. "Rumble" is probably one win away from a light heavyweight title shot and remains out of reach for now, but it sounds like "Durkin" is a man with a plan.

That said, who would you like to see Cummins fight next?
