Jon Jones is out of the UFC heavyweight title fight at UFC 295 that was scheduled to take place on November 11 at Madison Square Garden. He has ‘fell’ due to injury.
An absence that represents a great setback for fans of this discipline. Stipe Miocic, who was going to be his rival, will leave the card and in his place there will be a fight for the interim title between Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich.
Jones suffered a muscle injury to his chest while exercising and had to be ‘removed’ from the event. He returned to competing more than seven months after his victory against Cyril Gane at UFC 285. This new injury will require him to undergo surgery.
But the UFC moved quickly to find a solution. Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira will be the protagonists of the new main event as announced by the UFC.
Official announcement
«Jon Jones was training last night when he got injured. He was in a sparring match and tore the tendon that connects the pectoral to the bone. He will have to undergo surgery and will be out for eight months,” Dana White, CEO of the UFC, said on social media. Despite this tough setback, the show continues.
