Gruesome Toe Injury Won’t be a Distraction for Jon Jones at UFC 165

In his last fight at UFC 159 in April, Jon Jones suffered a horrific injury during his victory over Chael Sonnen . He dislocated his big toe, which looked like something out of a horror film, the bone poking through his skin, his toe dangling from his foot. That was nearly five months ago, and Jones now says that he – and his toe – is good to go for Saturday’s UFC 165 main event.

As expected, Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) is next up for UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC), and the fight will take place in the fall. That’s according to UFC President Dana White, who recently confirmed the long-rumored plans via Twitter. The booking, which had been put on hold as Jones recovers from a nasty toe injury and ligament damage suffered in his April title defense over Chael Sonnen , doesn’t have a specific date or event yet, though it’s likely to headline a pay-per-view event. Currently, UFC 165 is slated for Sept. 21 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, and the event doesn’t have a headliner. But it may be too soon for Jones, and the fight could take place in October instead. Jones is ranked No. 1 and Gustafsson No.
