Jon Jones recently had another Surgery, on social media Jones posted about an update regerding his surgery
Considered by a lot of people to be the absolute best fighter in the history of MMA, “Bones” took it to another level when he jumped up to heavyweight last year and tapped out Ciryl Gane to snatch the division’s open title
In the latest update from the world of UFC, it seems that Jon Jones, the heavyweight king, is making the most of his time off. As you may already know, he has been sidelined for quite a while due to a pec injury. However, Jones is not one to sit idly by. He’s using this opportunity to address a lingering issue with his elbow. It’s clear that he’s determined to make a full recovery and come back to the octagon stronger than ever before.
So, Jones was all set to defend his shiny new belt against the two-time champ Stipe Miocic in the big main event of UFC 295. But dang it, he had to pull out because of a torn pec. And now, to top it off, the former light heavyweight champ went and had another surgery to fix those pesky bone spurs in his left elbow.
“Instead of doing a pec repair, we’re working on my left elbow,” Jones said on his Instagram story. “I’m actually about one hour off the table, we had a two-hour surgery shaving down some bone spurs. The good news is that it’s about a ten-week healing process, and I’m out for months anyway because of this pec surgery. So I just thought I’d kill two birds and get this elbow taken care of once and for all, Sometimes you gotta take a little step back to move forward.”
Even while sidelined, “Jonny Bones” has continued to be a hot topic in combat sports news. The UFC is determined to reschedule his matchup with Miocic, despite Tom Aspinall currently holding the interim heavyweight belt and being excited for a shot at the undisputed title.
Based on the information provided, it appears that the second procedure will not have any impact on the schedule for Jones’ comeback. However, it is worth noting that both fans and the other top heavyweights in the UFC are eagerly anticipating the return of this legendary fighter and are looking forward to witnessing him make a full recovery and defend his championship title. The enthusiasm surrounding Jones’ return is a testament to his status as an all-time great in the sport.
