UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will not be having surgery on his injured right hand after all.

Jones' agent Malki Kawa confirmed the news via Twitter and to MMA Fighting Friday.

According to Kawa, Jones flew to Las Vegas earlier in the week to meet with hand specialist Dr. James Vahey. Jones' surgery was scheduled for Thursday, but after meeting with Dr. Vahey on Wednesday, Jones was advised against surgery and told that it would have been too invasive.

So Dr. Vahey placed Jones' right hand in a cast for a month. There is still a chance that Jones will need surgery to correct the injury in the future.
