Jon
Jones claims he has nothing left to show after preventing
Stipe
Miocic.
Jones hasn’t fought profitable the heavyweight title with a submission
win in opposition to Ciryl Gane
on his return to motion after three years at UFC 285 in March 2023.
The previous mild heavyweight champ stays intent on defending his
title in opposition to Stipe
Miocic, a struggle that was canceled at UFC 295 after Jones
suffered a pectoral damage. That bout has been rumored for UFC 309
in November, though the matchup is but to be formally
introduced. Jones has repeatedly hinted at retirement following the
Miocic matchup, a lot to the ire of interim champ Tom
Aspinall, who has lengthy been rallying for a title unifier.
Jones just lately doubled down on his plans to retire except the UFC
makes him a suggestion he can’t refuse. A fan just lately requested Jones’
opinion on footage of Aspinall wrestling retired rugby participant Ugo
Monye. Apparently unimpressed by Aspinall, Jones stated he stays
centered on Miocic, who was a NCAA Division I wrestler at Cleveland
State College.
“Seems like Tom displaying that incredible UK wrestling,” Jones wrote
on X. “My focus is on Stipe, he truly wrestled [Division I].
Finest heavyweight of all time as of proper now. Perhaps Tom will go on
and beat Stipe’s report sooner or later. Proper now I’m specializing in GOAT
issues.”

Jones then continued to downplay a possible matchup in opposition to
Aspinall, which he claims has by no means been supplied to him. “Bones”
repeatedly defended his retirement plans, claiming his already
cemented legacy received’t be altered if he doesn’t take one “random”
struggle. In keeping with Jones, he ought to ideally struggle Miocic and journey
off into the sundown.
The attractive factor about being my place
is, I’m not outlined by one struggle. Most of you grew up watching me

I suppose there was a video that resurfaced
just lately of me saying that after Stipe, Francis was the one struggle
I used to be inquisitive about. That video was recorded nicely over a 12 months in the past.
That was recorded earlier than I received injured, earlier than there was an intern
champion topped. I had already…— BONY (@JonnyBones)

There are fighters actually all around the
world that assume behind their thoughts I can beat Jon Jones.
There will probably be no statues of you. Exit and win extra, make your
title larger, that’s the solely manner you do it.— BONY (@JonnyBones)

Every time followers accused Jones of ducking Aspinall, “Bones” laughed it
off as them begging him to return as a result of the heavyweight division
isn’t fascinating with out him. And Jones is conserving the door open
for that, if the UFC comes up with a rare supply.
It feels good to know on the best way out your
sport was actually begging you to proceed. You by no means know, perhaps
the Ufc will supply me a deal I can’t refuse. https://t.co/l5GlibxZzP— BONY (@JonnyBones)

Aspinall has been taking quite a few photographs at Jones and most just lately
posted a skit mocking the champ. Responding to Jones’ newest
tweets, Aspinall wonders whether or not it was the skit or his abilities that
influenced the retirement plans. Aspinall requested Jones to cross him
the title if he beats Miocic, whom the Brit now refers to as Joe
Biden.
“Marvel if it was that video or my preventing that retired him?”
Miocic wrote on his Instagram tales. “Please be sure you cross
me the belt on the best way out of the Octagon if you happen to beat Biden.”
