Jones and Miocic May Retire After UFC 309

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is approaching a potential retirement bout against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, with speculation about his future plans becoming a focal point. While UFC President Dana White advocates for a title unification fight with interim champion Tom Aspinall, Jones has expressed interest in a legacy-enhancing bout with Alex Pereira instead, dismissing Aspinall as unproven in his eyes. Miocic, regarded as a legendary heavyweight, is also preparing for what might be his final fight, though he remains focused solely on the matchup with Jones. Meanwhile, Aspinall, who has been performing exceptionally, is eager for a chance at the title, but remains on standby as a backup fighter for the Jones-Miocic bout. The fight between Jones and Miocic is drawing significant attention, not only for the championship stakes but also for the potential retirement of both fighters, leaving Aspinall to potentially claim a stronger position in the division. The outcome of UFC 309 will likely have a major impact on the future dynamics of the heavyweight division.
