Jon Jones is gearing up for another fight, and this time it’s for real!
The legendary light heavyweight and current UFC heavyweight champion recently released a lengthy statement, reassuring his loyal fans that his story is far from over. Despite not booking a fight since defeating Stipe Miocic in November at UFC 309, Jones is steering clear of interim champion Tom Aspinall, who is patiently waiting for his next UFC assignment in 2025.
There is a growing consensus that whatever Jones decides to do next may not be satisfying for fans. While he has achieved great success in the past, some feel disappointed by his avoidance of potentially the biggest fight in MMA today.
