“Dana’s privilege is an absolute joke” – Jon Jones puts heavyweight division on hold after undergoing ANOTHER surgery; fans react

Jon Jones, the UFC heavyweight champion, just went through his second surgery in four months. This has put a temporary halt to the highly anticipated action in the heavyweight division. Jones recently underwent surgery in October to repair a ruptured pectoral tendon. He announced on social media that he had another procedure performed to remove bone spurs in his left elbow. This revelation adds another degree of uncertainty to Jones’ comeback timeframe, which was already impacted by the original operation.

Jones recently made the revelation about the bone spur surgery in California. Despite having two operations in close succession, Jones promised supporters that the elbow treatment would not affect the previously predicted date for his comeback.

Good news is that it’s about a 10-week heal process, and I’m out for months anyway because of this pec surgery, so I just thought I’d kill two birds and get this elbow taken care of once and for all.

Jones intentionally arranged the two procedures, aiming to treat the elbow condition while still recovering from the pectoral surgery. Jones’ ruptured pectoral tendon pushed him out of the UFC 295 main event against Stipe Miocic. This matchup holds enormous significance for the UFC heavyweight division.

Jon Jones is widely considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. He had initially set the scene for his much-anticipated return to the Octagon in the first half of 2024. However, recent medical problems may postpone his return much longer.
