Jon Jones hasn’t fought inside the octagon since capturing the vacant UFC Heavyweight Championship by defeating Ciryl Gane via first round submission (guillotine choke) at UFC 285.
Jones (27-1-1) was supposed to defend his title against Stipe Miocic (20-4) at UFC 295 last year. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw from the event after tearing a pectoral tendon.
Recently, Dana White stated in an interview that Jones will step into the octagon this summer or fall. On Instagram, UFC Heavyweight Champion replied to a fan and stated that he will return to UFC on November 9th at the Madison Square Garden event.
“November 9th, Madison Square Garden. I know it seems like a dream, but it’s really happening 🤪.”
