Jon Jones Announces Retirement from UFC

Tom Aspinall expressed disappointment over Jon Jones not fighting him for the heavyweight title, as Jones is set to face Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, which Dana White announced as potentially Jones' last fight. Aspinall humorously jabbed at both Jones and White in a recent interview, continuing to call for a unification bout despite being sidelined from this opportunity. While Jones has a decorated legacy, questions loom over his decision to bypass a fight with Aspinall, especially after the latter captured the interim title and defended it successfully. Dana White has assured fans that following UFC 309, Aspinall will be the primary focus for any title opportunities. Despite Jones' retirement claims, White remains optimistic that Jones could be persuaded to continue fighting. Aspinall is prepared to step in if needed, emphasizing his readiness for a title shot against Jones or Miocic.
