The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is eagerly awaiting the return of Jon "Bones" Jones who was reinstated in October after serving a suspension stemming from a hit-and-run incident that happened last April.

Jones pleaded guilty to one of the charges and was eventually sentenced to 18 months of probation. Jones was, apparently, doing good and such enticed the UFC to look into the details of the plea bargain agreement reinstate Jones. 

Of course, many are looking forward to that much awaited rematch between Jones and reigning champion Daniel Cormier. Jones defeated Cormier in January but Cormier has been on a tear ever since.

The only question now is when the rematch would take place and the UFC has not officially mentioned anything yet.

However, Jones did tease of his possible return, possibly on April 23, 2016, at the Madison Square Garden in New York City which will host UFC 198. But this is with the understanding that the UFC will be able to get the necessary licenses to hold the event. In case it fails to do so, a change in venue could ensue.

Other than the license issue, Cormier is not too keen on fighting Jones in New York since it would mean competing right in the former's home turf.

All that aside, it would be best to see what the UFC decides on the matter since there is technically nothing on paper yet. Jones is busy working his way back into shape, so it may be best to wait and see when the much awaited fight will take place.

It appears that Jones is decided on that April 23 date, which could be understandable since he has been aching to get back into UFC action.

He hinted such when Cormier won over Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192 back in October, saying he missed fighting. The remarks made on social media by Jones eventually sparked interest and now, it's just a matter of time before the venue and date of his fight is made official.
