Jon Jones..

I thought the medical suspensions said his foot had to be cleared, or he wouldn't be allowed to fight until OCT? So everything is fine with his foot or are they just making this matchup regardless? Sorry if I missed it.

I thought Jones was out 6 months from medical suspension

They give potential medical suspensions back stage after the fights. A doctor looks over the fighter, asks questions, checks them out. These can be cleared if the fighter goes in for a more intensive appointment with a doctor and they find out exactly what is wrong. It's just a precaution that can be cleared later.

Or, if he fighter does nothing, just wait out the medical suspension.

Yes, Bones is out until October/ or until Dana & UFC bring in their own 'medically certified' DR. to clear him for a big PPV special that they need to fill...... as the doc walks out w/ a very heavy bag full of cheddar.
