Dana White: Jon Jones Likely to Get a Title Fight Following Suspension
February 1, 2017 | Posted by
– During his appearance on the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Dana White spoke about the return of Jon Jones, noting that he expects Jon Jones will challenge for the UFC light heavyweight title for his first fight back from suspension…
“Jon Jones is supposed to return around July so the timing is perfect. I haven’t talked to him. I have not talked to Jon Jones since the whole incident [at UFC 200]. Depending on where Jon’s head is and where he thinks he is, I would assume he would come right back and try to get his title back.”
White seems to have changed his tune, as back in November, he told Jim Rome the following…
“I would never take the risk of headlining a show with Jon Jones again.”
