Jon Jones has suggested he could retire after fighting Stipe Miocic. 

The pair are expected to fight by the end of the year once Jones is back from injury. Bones withdrew from their UFC 295 clash with a pectoral muscle injury. Jones won the heavyweight belt with a first-round submission win against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. This was after three years away from the sport. 

Tom Aspinall will face the winner after his win against Curtis Blaydes. The Brit stopped him in the first round at UFC 304 to avenge his 2022 defeat. White has said Miocic will retire after fighting Jones, regardless of the result. Although White expected Jones to face Tom if he won, Bones has teased that Miocic could be his last fight. 

Yo @danawhite just a heads up, seeing as you seem so “unsure” about the future of Jon Jones after his fight with Miocic.

Stop holding up two divisions for him now, he has been VERY clear on the topic of not fighting Tom Aspinall and retiring, despite your claims of the opposite. pic.twitter.com/YGyPERVg8m
