UFC president Dana White is hopeful to get Jon Jones back in the octagon this summer, and he sees Stipe Miocic as the leading candidate for his opponent.
Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC), a former multitime UFC light heavyweight champion, hasn’t fought since February 2020. He’s been plotting a move up to the heavyweight division for the majority of the time since, but contract disputes, legal trouble and more have kept him out of the cage.
It appears a Jones comeback fight is looming, however, as White told TMZ that he has the desire to book Jones in the coming months – with Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) being the ideal opponent.
