Should Jon Jones Receive Immediate Title Shot Upon His Return?

UFC 187 is finally upon us—it's fight week. The UFC Light Heavyweight Championship is up for grabs, but the man who became the most dominant champion in the division's history is not defending it.

By now, most everyone has heard of Jon Jones' transgressions that have led to his indefinite suspension from the UFC. Jones' issues are not settled. He has not been indicted over his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run, and there has been no court date set. These are the real issues he is facing, and they will not be resolved in short order.
