About two and a half weeks before the highly anticipated heavyweight title attraction, UFC CEO Dana White announced that Jones had suffered a pectoral tear during a grappling session that would require surgery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThank you to everybody who\u2019s checked in with me to see how I was feeling,\u201d Jones said. \u201cObviously, a very sad situation\u2026very upset. But I\u2019ve been through a lot of things in life, and injuries [are] a part of being an athlete. I want to thank the UFC for getting me into one of the best doctors in the country, Dr. [Neal ElAttrache]. Thank you to Dr. ElAttrache and his staff members over here in California for seeing me so quick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jones continued, \u201cI wanted to say thank you to Stipe Miocic for all the work that he\u2019s put in. Also, sorry to Stipe and his team. Like I said, this comes with the territory. [I\u2019d like to] thank all my coaches and training partners, everyone who has helped me get this far \u2013 can\u2019t even say get to the fight. But the goal is to get surgery tomorrow and get back to work as soon as possible. I guess it\u2019ll be Stipe and I at a later date, and that\u2019s my plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per the statement issued by White, Jones could possibly be out for eight months following surgery scheduled for Friday. Despite the uphill battle ahead, \u201cBones\u201d seems optimistic about his recovery process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSo it\u2019ll be surgery and physical therapy for me for the next several months. But I\u2019m committed. I\u2019m committed, and my head is high. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me, and I love you all. Again, sincere apologies to the fans. I know some of you guys, it was a huge commitment to get out to Madison Square Garden. Hopefully, these other heavyweights, Aspinall and Sergei put on a great show for you guys. I may even show up to the event to watch. But I love you all, and your boy Jon Jones is doing OK. And I\u2019ll be OK. Take care,\u201d the champ concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Jones\u00a0has apologised to\u00a0Stipe Miocic\u00a0after\u00a0withdrawing from their planned fight\u00a0at\u00a0UFC\u00a0295, as the heavyweight champion prepares for surgery. \u062c\u0648\u0646 \u062c\u0648\u0646\u0632: \u0627\u0644\u0647\u062f\u0641 \u0647\u0648 \u0625\u062c\u0631\u0627\u0621 \u0639\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0629 \u062c\u0631\u0627\u062d\u064a\u0629 \u063a\u062f\u064b\u0627 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0648\u062f\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0645\u0644 \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0642\u0631\u0628 \u0648\u0642\u062a \u0645\u0645\u0643\u0646. \u0623\u0639\u062a\u0642\u062f \u0623\u0646\u0647 \u0633\u064a\u0643\u0648\u0646 \u0633\u062a\u064a\u0628 \u0648\u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0641\u064a \u0648\u0642\u062a \u0644\u0627\u062d\u0642.
