Jon Jones to Have Immediate Shot at Title Upon Return, Says Dana White

UFC President Dana White said Wednesday that former light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones will have a shot to win back his title whenever he returns to competition.    

MMAFighting.com's Shaun Al-Shatti reported what White had to say about Jones' UFC future during a Wednesday interview on The Jim Rome Show:

He comes right back and he fights for the title. He hasn't had the time that Anderson Silva's had, but he is 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.
