UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ highly anticipated fight against Daniel Cormier is now on hold after Jones sustained a leg injury in training.
Two weeks after receiving stitches for a
deep laceration to his eye, Jones has now been forced to pull out of UFC 178 due to an unspecified leg injury.
Instead, Cormier will now get his title shot against Jones on January 3, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The main event for UFC 178 on September 27 has now been changed to a UFC flyweight title showdown between Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and Chris Cariaso, which was previously scheduled as the co-main event for UFC 177 in Sacramento on August 30.
