Jon Jones has been a force in UFC for over a decade. He has smashed records and dominated opponents like a video game character come to life. But even legends can’t fight forever. The 37-year-old fighter recently dropped a bombshell that’s got the MMA world buzzing.
Recently, the UFC’s heavyweight champion announced that he is gearing up for what might be his final octagon appearance. Jon Jones spilled the beans at UFC 306 in Las Vegas. He told Clocked N’ Loaded that his upcoming bout will be his swan song.
“It’s going to be the last time. More than likely,” said Jones.
The fight in question is a heavyweight showdown against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. Scheduled for November 16, this clash of titans has been brewing for a while. Injuries pushed it back a year, but now it’s finally happening.
Jon Jones isn’t just any champion. He’s the guy who became the youngest UFC champ ever. At 23, he snatched the light heavyweight title from Shogun Rua. Since then, he’s been an unstoppable freight train. But despite such an illustrious career, fans are not satisfied with him yet.
