Expected to make his return to the Octagon before the end of the year amid an injury setback suffered last November, UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has teased an impending comeback to active competition, returning to training this week.
Jones, the current heavyweight champion and a former two-time titleholder at the light heavyweight limit, was scheduled to headline UFC 295 back in November of last year, before a torn pectoral tendon forced his withdrawal from a title fight against the returning former gold holder, Stipe Miocic.
Sidelined in the time since amid surgery to address the injury, Jon Jones also went under the knife to address previous elbow issues – namely the shaving down of bone spurs, with plans in place for him to return in a rescheduled bout with Ohio veteran, Miocic.
