UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been sidelined ever since his UFC 159 victory over Chael Sonnen . That is, he had been sidelined until Tuesday. The champ injured his toe in the first-round drubbing of Sonnen on April 27 in New Jersey. Limping over to do his post-fight interview with UFC broadcaster Joe Rogan, Jones’ toe was jutting out at an unnatural angle, bleeding, the bone trying to sneak a peak through his skin. It caused more than a few stomachs to churn when the cameras focused on his injured foot. The injury, which most believed was a fracture, was actually a severe dislocation. That ended up being a more questionable proposition for healing than the fracture would have been, but Jones recuperated rather quickly, and has already returned to training.
