Jon Jones injured, fight with Daniel Cormier postponed until Jan. 3

From:  Kevin Iole,  Cagewriter, Aug 12,14

"Jon Jones suffered a leg injury during training and has been forced to postpone his hotly anticipated light heavyweight title defense against Daniel Cormier that had been scheduled for UFC 178 on Sept. 27 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

The bout has tentatively been rescheduled for Jan. 3 as the main event of UFC 182, also at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

A UFC spokesperson said he did not know the nature of Jones' injury. Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting quoted unnamed sources saying it is a torn meniscus in his left knee and a sprained ankle."

The news first broke Tuesday during the "America's Pregame" show on Fox Sports 1, where Cormier works as a UFC analyst. Cormier said he was told by UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta that he would keep his spot and that the company wouldn't leapfrog Alexander Gustafsson ahead of him.

Gustafsson originally was to face Jones on Sept. 27 until he was injured. But after a major brawl broke out between Jones and Cormier and generated major attention, there was little chance the UFC would not keep that bout together."

I suspect DC will come out of the Christmas break a few pounds "taters and turkey" heavier.

So he injured his leg and pulled out til the big year end fight aye?
  

God fucking dammit.

We really need to start betting odds on if jones will fight or not now. He's facing rashad again oh easily 95% chance he will fight. he has to rematch gus odds just went down to 15% he will fight.
