“I got 18 weeks and three days to improve,” Jones posted. “That’s exactly what I’m going to do. Progress equal happiness, sacrifice today, smile tomorrow.

“Find your personal love for self improvement.”

At the time of the posting, the countdown would end on November 9. The UFC typically heads to Madison Square Garden in New York City that month.

Jones would later clarify all of it, writing “The red corner, my office, #Nov9th.”

“November 9th Madison Square Garden,” he said. “I know it seems like a dream but it’s really happening.”

Last year, Jones was set to defend his belt against Miocic from Madison Square Garden. While training, though, “Bones” suffered a serious injury that required surgery.

Instead of taking another bout, Miocic remained on the sidelines. A former champion himself, he wants nothing more than to test his skills vs. Jones.
