Shit! Tendon tore, surgery and eight months off

Jon Jones just got injured during his wrestling training and he is officially out of UFC295 fight against Stipe Miocic, and I really wanted to finally see this one

Jiri Prochazka vs Alex Pereira is now the main event, and Pavlovich vs Aspinall will be a co-main fight for Interim Heavyweight title.
That's a bummer. Not sure if that 8 months is only the time it takes for the healing time, or is it the total estimated time it'll take him to return to the fighting shape.
UFC again did pretty good in finding replacement. Aspinall Vs Pavlovich is, to me, equally exciting fight. Both are No. 1 and No. 2 in stats for the shortest average fight. It's a shame they only have a little over 2 weeks to prepare.
I wonder if Stipe will have any other fight or will he just be waiting for Jones to return. It' not obvious UFC would still want to make it happen. It would make more sense to match Jones against whoever wins the interim title - likely Aspinall.
