Gun wanted to reschedule Jones fight

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 25, 2023, 4:54 a.m.

Former Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Cyril Gun admitted that he wanted to slightly shift the timing of the fight for the vacant belt from John John due to an operation on his hand, which he underwent in September.

“At the time of the announcement of our fight with Jones, I was already doing exercises on a heavy bag, everything was already in order with my arm. When we discussed this fight with Hunter Campbell, we already knew that it would be impossible to change the date.

I wanted to move this fight back a little, maybe by a month. That would be a great idea," Ghana was quoted as saying by MMA Weekly.
