Jon Jones has announced his retirement from the UFC, a decision confirmed by Dana White at the UFC Baku post-fight presser. This announcement follows a year of speculation over a potential fight against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, which ultimately did not materialize. Fans had even called for Jones to be stripped of his title as the heavyweight division stagnated. In his retirement statement, Jones expressed heartfelt gratitude for his career and the support he received from fans, family, and the UFC, reflecting on his historic achievements and personal growth as a fighter.
Today, I'm officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I've experienced over the years.
Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe-these are memories I'll cherish forever.
