jones-cormier-sportscenterUFC officials have announced the UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 178 bout against challenger Daniel Cormier due to an injury. The bout has now been moved to the January 3rd card which will likely be called UFC 182.

Multiple sources are reporting that Jones suffered an injury to his knee and ankle.

Demetrious Johnson vs. Chris Cariaso for the UFC flyweight title has been moved from the UFC 177 co-main event on Aug. 31 to the main event of UFC 178.

The Jones vs. Cormier bout is arguably one of the most anticipated MMA bouts in history and has already given us crazy situations to remember. I suppose adding a couple of months onto the wait will only heighten things even more.
