Unfortantely, Jon Jones will no longer be defending his heavyweight title against former champ Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 next month, November 11th.

The reigning heavyweight champ has been forced out of the fight due to an injury to his pectoral tendon during wrestling training. UFC boss Dana White broke the news via sociala media tonight.

“Jon Jones was training last night, got injured, he was wrestling and he tore the tendon that connects your pec to to the bone, off the bone,” White said on Twitter. “[Out] eight months, going to need surgery. He’s out.”

White did reveal that the new main event will see Jiri Prochazka and Alex Pereira duke it out for the vacant light heavyweight title, while contenders Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall will compete for the interim heavyweight title.

There is still no word on why Miocic has been pulled from the card.
