‘Bones’ Jon Jones cemented himself as an all-time great in MMA history with his legendary run in the light heavyweight division. He defeated several future or past champions such as Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, Lyoto Machida, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Glover Teixeira, Rashad Evans, and Daniel Cormier, plus several more.

Jones vacated his light heavyweight title and moved up to heavyweight, after a long period of rest. He earned the vacant heavyweight title in early 2023 and has been inactive since.

“Jon Jones is going to fight in Madison Square Garden in November. Then if he wins, or Stipe wins, then we see what happens next. Who will retire or whatever? Do I think Stipe WIll Retire? I do … But I know for a fact, if Jon Jones wins that fight with all this talk that’s out there, there’s no way in hell he’s not fighting Aspinall.”
