It sounds like Jon “Bones” Jones misses having that golden strap around his waist.
Daniel Cormier successfully defended his light-heavyweight belt against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192 on Saturday night.
The five-round war is likely to go down as one of the best 205lb title bouts in history, with Cormier putting on a grappling masterclass and remarkably, out-striking the Swedish superstar in the stand-up exchanges.
It seems like the brutal slugfest had an effect on former champion, and arguably the greatest fighter to ever grace an Octagon. Jon Jones posted a video on his Instagram account which appears to suggest that his MMA return may be imminent.

Considering Jones comprehensively defeated both fighters during his reign as light-heavyweight king, it’s no wonder he wants to get back inside that cage.
Jones was forced to relinquish his belt and was suspended indefinitely from MMA for his involvement in a hit-and-run in which a pregnant woman broke her arm. However, at his hearing, Jones avoided jail time which leaves the door open for a possible MMA return soon.
