The long-awaited UFC heavyweight debut of Jon Jones apparently will not take place this summer. According to the former UFC light heavyweight champion, he will wait until former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic is ready, which according to him, will not be until September. UFC president Dana White recently said a matchup between Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) and Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) made sense as a part of the promotion’s summer lineup of events. Earlier this month, MMA Junkie learned an interim heavyweight title bout was offered to Miocic to face Jones at UFC 276 in July. Apparently, Jones caught word that Miocic would not be ready to compete this summer, and shared his thoughts on the manner via social media
