Jon Jones has been away from octagon competition for a while but could return in 2022
Jon Jones is on hiatus and has yet to step foot inside the UFC octagon ever since moving up to the heavyweight division. However, Jones is expected to be back in 2022.
UFC president Dana White told the media at the UFC 265 post-fight press conference that ‘Bones’ will be returning to action next year. It remains to be seen what Jones’ status will be upon his comeback and who he will be fighting next year, but expect the former light heavyweight champion to be thrown right into the mix with the rest of the heavyweights in the title picture.
