One of the most anticipated UFC fights in recent memory is no longer happening. Heavyweight champion Jon Jones is out of his UFC 295 title fight against all-time great Stipe Miocic after he suffered a torn pectoral muscle in training that will sideline him for eight months, UFC CEO Dana White announced late Tuesday night. White’s announcement on social media included video of the incident. With Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) out, Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) will not remain on the card for undisclosed reasons. As a result, top contenders Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall will compete for the interim championship in the Nov.
