Jon Jones 100% Healthy Says White


“[Jones is] good. He’s 100 percent. I talked to him [on Saturday], and he said he feels great. The only thing that’s sore on him is his calf. It’s a little sore. I’d like to give these guys time to rest and give them a little break, so we’ll see what happens.”

UFC president Dana White confirmed to the media during the UFC on Versus 6 post-fight press conference that his light-heavyweight champion is in fact healthy.

Following his UFC 135 victory over Rampage Jackson we reported that the Colorado Athletic commission had suspended Jon Jones for six-months. However, according to White it doesn’t appear that the champ will be out for an extended period of time after all and we may get that grudge match between Rashad Evans and Jones sooner than later.

Good news for Jones fans!

  1. DanaBrown says:

    Is it just me, or does Jones seem a little bit fruity?

  2. Ninjaman says:

    Long live King Jone’s!!!

  3. Poco says:

    What song did El Cucuy come out to @ 135??

  4. Ninja Oreo Dollop says:

    I am confused as to why the Athletic Commission suspended him for six months anyways? Rampage, the loser of the bout got far less a suspension.

  5. Jpeech says:

    He better be a 100% when he fights Evans. MAN THATS GOING TO BE A GOOD FIGHT

  6. Mike Diaz says:

    Attitudes don’t have anything to do with a fighter’s skill set, and Jones will K Rashad TFO on his way to tossing Hendo like no one else has embarassed him! Im trying to see who is after Hendo, maybe that fighter could end the reign of Jon Jones. PENN NATION!!!!!!!
