By: Chris Park, MMATorch UK Specialist

In an exclusive backstage video interview with ESPN, light heavy-weight contender Jon Jones spoke to MMATorch UK specialist Chris Park at the London O2 Arena.

Speaking during last Saturday night?s UFC 120, Jones cleared up the debate of whether his proposed Super bowl weekend clash with Ryan Bader was on or off, revealing a conversation with UFC match-maker Joe Silva had happened that would stop all the recent rumours.

"Yeah it's on, me and my manager had a meeting with Joe Silva... Joe said the fight is definitely still happening, so we're excited," Jones told ESPN.

"Right now I'm working on my skill set, doing a lot of boxing; a lot of this fight will be based around boxing so I'm doing a lot of that right now. And basically I've just been studying him to figure him out."
