These days, the MMA world is waiting for word of a date for Jon Jones’ return.
It’s become something of a common theme around Jones in recent years. While his resume can’t be denied, he’s made just eight walks to the cage in the past 10 years. After an injury took him out of his first scheduled heavyweight title defense this past November, Jones is nearing his return.
When Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) returns, it’ll be against former heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic, who hasn’t fought since he lost the title to Francis Ngannou more than three years ago. Rather than take a fight while Jones recovered, Miocic chose to wait for a shot to get the belt back.
