Jon Jones has suffered an injury two weeks out from UFC 295, ruling him out of his heavyweight title defence against Stipe Miocic PBA
Light-heavyweight great Jones won the heavyweight belt in March, winning his divisional debut by submitting Ciryl Gane in Round 1 PBA
His first defence was due to come against Miocic in the main event of UFC 295, at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on 11 November PBA
However, 36-year-old Jones will require surgery after sustaining an injury on Tuesday (24 October), meaning his clash with the consensus heavyweight ‘GOAT’ is off PBA
As a result, the co-main event of UFC 295 has been elevated to the new main event, as former light-heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka faces ex-middleweight champion Alex Pereira for the vacant 205lbs title PBA
In the new co-main event, British heavyweight Tom Aspinall will face Russia’s Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title PBA
The winner of that fight will theoretically be in line to unify the belts against Jones once the American is healthy, and it is unclear how Miocic will factor into the situation PBA
“Jon Jones was training last night, got injured,” said UFC president Dana White on Wednesday morning, sharing footage of the incident PBA
“He was wrestling, and he tore the tendon that connects your pec to the bone PBA

off the bone PBA
“Eight months [out], gonna need surgery, he’s out PBA
So, the main event is Prochazka vs Pereira PBA
The co-main event now is Pavlovich vs Aspinall for the interim heavyweight championship PBA
”American Miocic, 41, has not fought since losing the heavyweight title to Francis Ngannou in March 2021 PBA

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel PBA
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink PBA
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp PBA
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game PBA
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions PBA
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster PBA
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly PBA
“I think we shocked them PBA
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game PBA
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful PBA
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago PBA
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme PBA
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies PBA
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly PBA
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on PBA
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return PBA
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch PBA
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick PBA
“But the players should be incredibly proud PBA
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions PBA
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 PBA
We’ve had four months PBA
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them PBA
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made PBA
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid PBA
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans PBA
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament PBA
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked PBA
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward PBA
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick PBA
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game PBA
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change PBA
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent PBA
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change PBA
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union PBA
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players PBA
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby PBA Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation PBA
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards PBA
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos PBA
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear PBA
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace PBA
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win PBA
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said PBA
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past PBA
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it PBA
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team PBA
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be PBA
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger PBA
