Post Jon Jones To Skip Out On Surgery - 05-14-2011, 01:24 AM

Jones could still face Rashad…

Jon Jones has decided not to have surgery on a hand injury that forced him out of a UFC 133 bout with training partner Rashad Evans. Jones was set to undergo surgery on Thursday but found out during a
pre-operation inspection that while the injury will not get better without surgery, the procedure was not necessary.

"He has a torn ligament, and the only way you can actually repair it is by surgery," Jones' manager, Malki Kawa said. "If you're not a fighter or someone who uses his hand, you can just completely leave it alone, and the pain might go away, but you're always going to have that tear there, so the doctors asked us what we wanted to do. Initially, Jon didn't want to have surgery. But as we kept getting additional opinions from doctors we all trusted, they all recommended having surgery based on the initial report from the UFC's orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steven Sanders."

Jones has had a removable hard cast put on and has been asked not to train until June 11th. Jones could still face Evans by the end of the year.
