It appears as though, at least for now, Jon Jones is not going to be part of the UFC heavyweight title picture.
Last year, after a contractual dispute with the UFC, Jones decided to finally vacate his light heavyweight title and make his long-awaited move up to the heavyweight ranks. Since then, Jones has been in the gym putting on muscle, ostensibly for a heavyweight title fight with the winner of UFC 260’s title rematch between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou. Ngannou ended up claiming the title that night and immediately talk turned to a superfight between Ngannou and Jones, but equally as quickly the issue of compensation reared its head again.
