UFC President Dana White stressed that former heavyweight champion Jon Jones is preparing for return to the octagon. Jones failed the doping test in June 2017 and since then he had no fight.

"It would be great if he returns in 2018. I talked to Jones for the first time since his last fight. Now he is focused on training, he has very positive attitude. He yearns for a return. I do not know what will come of it, now this issue is being decided by USADA," said Dana White.
