Dana White provides update on Jon Jones’ return to UFC: ‘He came out, and poof — disappeared’

UFC president, Dana White has provided a rather bleak update on the return of recently minted undisputed heavyweight champion, Jon Jones to the Octagon this summer – claiming the Endicott native has “disappeared” since headlining UFC 285 last month.

Snapping a three-year-plus Octagon hiatus back in March, Jones, a former two-time undisputed light heavyweight champion, headlined UFC 285 in a vacant heavyweight title outing against former interim division champion, Ciryl Gane.

Snatching the vacant division crown, former Jackson-Wink MMA staple, Jon Jones submitted the Frenchman with a dominant first round guillotine choke, minting himself as a two-weight champion under the banner of the UFC.
