MANILA -- Ultimate Fighting Champion Jon Jones has cancelled his trip in Manila this October.

The Light Heavyweight fighter is scheduled to defend his title against Lyoto Machida in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 140 on December 10 in Toronto, Canada.

Due to this recent development, Jones will not be able to visit the Philippines for the UFC Media tour scheduled on October 20 to 23.

Balls Channel is closely working with the UFC to bring another high-caliber fighter to the country in November. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
