DANA WHITE isn't contemplating the possibility of Jon Jones headlining UFC 300.<\/p>\n

The UFC's pound-for-pound king was due to defend his heavyweight title against former champion Stipe Miocic a fortnight on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

But a torn left pectoral muscle for Jones laid waste to UFC 295's main event and is expected to keep the Hall of Famer on the sidelines for eight months.<\/p>\n

A faster-than-expected recovery could pave the way for Jones vs Miocic to headline UFC 300 in April, although that thought couldn't be any further from White's mind right now.<\/p>\n

The UFC's president and newly-minted CEO said: \u201cI\u2019m not thinking about anything until Jon has had his surgery.<\/p>\n

"[He's] got to get through that and see how he recovers.<\/p>\n

Jones' loss has been the gain of Brit Tom Aspinall, who has been drafted in on just over two weeks' notice to fight Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

White said: \u201cJon called to say he hurt his shoulder training and wrestling<\/span>.<\/p>\n

"His team thought he\u2019d need just a few days off and he\u2019ll be fine, but he felt that something was really wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did what we do, flipped it, and make another fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prospect of offering former two-time champion Miocic the interim title never crossed the minds of White or the rest of the UFC brass.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cStipe is not fighting for an interim title. <\/p>\n

"You have the greatest heavyweight of all time against the greatest mixed martial artist of all time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a legacy fight for both of these guys. <\/p>\n

"To even call Stipe and ask him to fight for an interim title is complete disrespect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fight for two legends, legacy, two of the greatest to ever do it, fans want to see it, I want to see it and they both want it.\u201d<\/p>\n
