UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been sidelined since tearing a pectoral tendon while preparing to take on former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic last November. Recovered enough to be back in the gym training, Jones is expected to meet Miocic later this year. If he wins, Jones will have choices to make. He could call it a career and walk away. He could take on interim champion Tom Aspinall in a unification bout, or he could face light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira in a super fight. Last week, Jones wrote on social media that a fight against Pereira would be ‘massive’ and ‘the biggest fight in MMA history.’ On Thursday, Jones reiterated that he’s fighting Miocic in his return but was unsure who he’ll face after that. “I’m in the middle of a pretty clear decision… stick to exact and original plans, and fight the man with all the accolades.
