Due to pending legal issues, there is no clear timetable for Jon Jones to fight in the UFC. But if and when he does return to the Octagon, it will likely be in a high stakes bout.

During a Wednesday appearance on ”The Jim Rome Show,” UFC President Dana White said that Jones would receive a shot at the light heavyweight title when he comes back to the Las Vegas-based promotion.

“He comes right back and fights for the title,” White said.
