Jon Jones will undergo long period of treatment and recovery and it is even reported that after he recovers he will not be able to immediately return to the UFC to fight.
It looks like he will gain quite significant amount of weight because during the recovery period he will only sleep and eat.
Indeed there is replacement fight for Jones failed meeting with Stipe Miocic namely the interim heavyweight title fight between Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall.
Unfortunately this fight isn't that interesting.
Meanwhile for Alex Pereira, I will have hopes for his victory against Jiri Prochazka.
Why is Pavlo vs Aspinall an interim fight? Jones being stripped of his belt would appear Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall fight for the vacant belt.
The news says it will take more than a year before Jones can recover, it's very uncertain whether he can still fight as long as USADA has yet not out of the picture he will not be able to. Its the same issue with Conor.
Actually he has a healing time of around 8 months and this has been estimated by the doctor who treated him, but to really be able to fight we don't know whether after 8 months he can fight straight away or not.
If you equate it with McGregor, it is not the same because the injury suffered by Jones was not as serious as that experienced by McGregor.
I sure Jones will be able to fight as predicted.
