Jon Jones open to immediate rematch with Thiago Santos: ‘I think that’s only fair’

Jon Jones recently edged out a split decision win over Thiago Santos at UFC 239 to defend his light heavyweight title but, despite Santos being ‘Bone’s’ toughest challenge to date, there’s been little to no buzz over an immediate rematch.

The lack of interest likely stems from the fact that, although UFC 239 was Jones’ toughest title defense to date, it was also the most boring title fight in recent memory, with neither Jones nor Santos committing to a finish at any point throughout the contest.

With that said, Jones is open to a rematch with Santos after the Brazilian slugger recovers from injury.
