Jon "Bones" Jones has been officially stripped of his UFC Light Heavyweight title.
UFC president Dana White announced on Fox Sports 1 on Tuesday that the company had stripped Jones of the belt and suspended him indefinitely, only two days after Jones allegedly fled the scene of an auto accident in Albuquerque, N.M.
Daniel Cormier, who recently lost to Jones at UFC 182, will take his place and fight Anthony "Rumble" Johnson for the title stripped from Jones. It was noted that it would not be an interim championship belt as initially thought of. The winner will be the full champion and not the interim title-holder.
