Jon Jones will get immediate title shot if he returns

The best thing to happen to sports since…

Jon Jones has been the most dominant figure in mixed martial arts for a few years now, but he has also had his share of issues. Recently, Jones was stripped of his UFC light heavyweight championship and suspended indefinitely following a hit-and-run accident. Luckily for Jones, he will be welcomed back to the UFC with an immediate title shot once he gets his life in order.

On Wednesday, UFC president Dana White said that when Jones comes back he will fight for the title immediately. This weekend at UFC 187, Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson will fight for the belt Jones vacated.
