He then went on to rule the division for the better part of a decade and defeated three generations of elite challengers the division had to offer. He has now started the next chapter of his storied career by capturing the heavyweight title.

“I thought he did great, I’m glad the fight was competitive. Opens so many doors for everyone in the future.”
Jones was scheduled to fight former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic in a legacy-defining fight at UFC 295. However, he was forced out of the fight due to a tendon injury in the pectoral region.
The UFC has gone ahead and booked an interim title fight between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall. ‘Bones’ will most likely fight the winner of this contest upon his return. According to UFC president Dana White, the champion will need surgery to treat the injury. He may require approximately eight months to make complete recovery.
