Jon Jones has finally broken his silence regarding the unfortunate news that Daniel Cormier has pulled out of their scheduled rematch for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship at the UFC 197 pay-per-view scheduled for later this month.
The news was broken on Friday that due to an “undisclosed injury,” Cormier was forced to pull out of the Jones rematch at UFC 197 on April 23rd.
It had been feared that due to Jones’ ongoing legal issues, he would force a cancellation to the highly-anticipated Jones-Cormier rematch, however in the end, it was the return of the “injury bug” that forced the fight to be scrapped.
On Saturday, “Bones” Jones took to social media to comment on the fact that Cormier pulled out of their fight.
“I don’t wish injuries on anyone,” wrote Jones on his official Twitter page. “I hope you have a healthy recovery Daniel. Enjoy that belt.”
UFC 197 takes place on Saturday, April 23rd in Las Vegas, Nevada.
