Dana White: Jon Jones to Receive Title Shot Upon Return at UFC 214 if Ready

It appears that Jon Jones will be able to pick up right where he left off when he is able to return to active competition this summer.

According to UFC President Dana White, the Las Vegas-based promotion would be willing to grant Jones an immediate light heavyweight title shot against Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, Calif. The Jackson-Wink MMA standout is serving a USADA-mandated suspension for testing positive for the banned substances clomiphene and letrozole during an out-of-competition drug screen prior to UFC 200. He is eligible to return on July 6.
