When will we see Jon Jones fight again?

Jones last fought 02/2020. So he probably got caught back then again and received a 2 year shadow ban.
02/2022 + a few months to "test" find a fight and promote the whole thing.
 
I voted fall 2022, but with his recent problems, I don’t know if we will ever see Jones back in the octagon.
 
When they put up cameras in the prison shower.
 
I voted summer of 2022 with the fight getting signed sometime around March.

If he takes care of his personal business outside the cage. I would love to see him fight at HW sometime next year.

But with Jones anything can happen. He's so volatile, he could be good for a bit and than fall off the rails.

So when do you see him fight again, if ever?

In terms of likeyhood afraid of being KOed I spose but in terms of winning or losing I think Francis will always be a littler flakey, if Gane does have the best of Jones that could be nearly unwinnable but Francis theres always the chance he gasses or breaks mentally.

When you look at how Joens struggled with say Santos then Gane seems like a similar test but bigger and more technical.

Francis breaking mentally?

IIRC Francis gassed vs Stipe in the first round. Still survived the next 4 rounds while taking a savage beating. Fought Lewis and lost a few months later. Was shit on by everyone (Dana and the fans) and was close to getting cut. At this point it's hard for anyone to come back.

Not only did Francis come back, he did so in the same year when he KO'd Blaydes. Been on a tear since. Francis has a very strong mind for the game. He's basically a warrior.

Still though Francis hasnt gone beyond the second round after that and hasnt faced real adversity so I wouldnt say I'm totally convinced he's beyond cario/mental weakness although I do think he's improved technically.

Again not that I wouldnt pick him to beat Jones and indeed I think he could well decision him as well but there is IMHO a bit more of an element of uncertainty there were as if Gane is able to work Jones over I'd say theres less upset potential there, less chance of cardio, a mistake or mental breaks. Basically if Gane can just jab/lowkick Jones to a decision I'd bank on him to do it 19 times out of 20.
 
Once his juicing cycle/suspension ends. He got beat by Reyes after USADA forced him to jump on lower end compounds, so the UFC changed the rules about publicising failed tests and told him to turn pictos into grams again.

Yeah i can agree with that. When Gane sets a trend in a fight, it's hard to break.

Do fights outside the cage count if they make the press and there is video/photos?
