Since Jon Jones was reinstated to the UFC roster, a question has been asked by fans: when will the former champion, stripped of his title in mid-2015, fight again? The answer seems to have come from Jones himself, who, on social media, hinted that his return should actually happen at UFC 198, in April.
“13 weeks until showtime,” Jones wrote on his official Facebook profile. Instagram, along with a video of his training. The date coincides exactly with UFC 198, an event that is initially scheduled for New York City (USA), but which still depends on the legislative branch releasing MMA in the state to take place at the legendary Madison Square Garden.
At 28, Jon Jones He has a professional record of 21 wins and one loss, which has been widely questioned and suffered disqualification. The former light heavyweight champion last fought in January 2015, when he beat Daniel Cormier, precisely the current title holder and who should be his rival upon his return to the ring.
