When former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones gets his legal troubles behind him and returns to fighting, he won’t have to work his way back up the 205-pound ladder. UFC president Dana White said Jones would get an immediate title shot if and when he returns to the octagon.
“He comes right back and fights for the title,” White said on The Jim Rome Show. “He hasn’t had the time Anderson Silva’s had, but he’s the most dominant champion. If you look at the murderer’s row of the 205-pound division that he went through, and he just went through it like a hot knife through butter, I mean he’s the man.
