White: Jones would return to a title shot
Dana White: “If you look at the murderer’s row of the 205-pound division that he went through, and he just went through it like a hot knife through butter…”
Jon Jones will be out of the Octagon for the foreseable future with his recent legal troubles and suspension from the UFC. A new champion will be crowned, but should Jones decide to return after he puts this incident behind him, he will return directly to a world title fight:
“He comes right back and he fights for the title,” UFC President Dana White announced Wednesday on The Jim Rome Show. “He hasn’t had the time that Anderson Silva’s had, but he is the most dominant champion.
“If you look at the murderer’s row of the 205-pound division that he went through, and he just went through it like a hot knife through butter, I mean, he’s the man. So whenever he gets his stuff together, he’d come right back and fight for the title.”
