With the upcoming UFC 230 card still in limbo, no one understands clearly what is going on. Jon Jones was rumored to be fighting Alexander Gustafsson for an Interim-Title at the event, but that fell through. It was also rumored that it would be a matchup between Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, but everyone knows Daniel Cormier won't be back up early 2019. The returning Brock Lesnar is more than likely gonna be the next opponent for Daniel Cormier for his Heavyweight title after the match was essentially booked at UFC 226.

Many rumors have been floating around, but nothing has been set in stone. With Jon Jones being cleared to fight the mix martial arts world is waiting with excitement for an official announcement of his return. Jon "Bones" Jones has already made it clear that one of his main objectives during this upcoming return run is to defeat Daniel Cormier 2 more times and embarrass him by taking back his UFC Light-Heavyweight Championship and defeat him again to take his UFC Heavyweight Championship. But that is the only downside we all know that Daniel Cormier's next opponent will be Brock Lesnar.

Alexander Gustafsson is also a big name that everyone has been waiting to return as he is one of the most dominant and top feared fighters in the Light-Heavyweight division as he has cleared out everyone that has stepped in front of him except for two fighters, Daniel and Cormier and Jon Jones. Alex "The Mauler" faced both of these top competitors when they were champions in fights that could have easily gone either way depending on the judges.

Alexander was supposed to fight Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 227 that easily could have been an Interim-Title shot as both of these guys were in the Top 5 rankings in the Light-Heavyweight division. Unfortunately, "No Time" Oezdemir suffered a broken nose that caused him to pull out of the fight. On that same note Alexander "The Mauler" Gustaffson suffered from a serious hamstring injury that he needed some time off to recover from.

With both of these gentlemen ready to fight and both of them having their eyes on the gold the fight to make is Gustaffson vs. Jones 2 for the Light-Heavyweight Title. It has been said that they are going to strip D.C. of his belt because of the situation and because there is no telling if D.C. would be able to cut weight for both divisions easily and more importantly in a healthy manner.

The Last time we saw Alex was in 2017 when he brutally knocked out Glover Teixeira when "The Mauler" looked in phenomenal rare form and he made improvements. It would be nice to see what he has been working on during his time off. The last time we saw the former UFC Light-Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones was at UFC 214 when he knocked out Daniel Cormier to a disgusting Headkick to reclaim his gold.
