John Jones has yet to make any decisions about what will come next in his combat career.
Many are looking for “bone” to vacate the UFC Heavyweight Championship if they don’t plan on facing interim champion Tom Aspinel in a unified title match. Jones teased fans both with the possibility of returning and retiring. Tracing wild geese wonders when the UFC will intervene to decide what to do next in the heavyweight division.
For now, the title photos for the department continue to be vague.

Jones has not decided on the next move
When he appeared in “Deep Cut With Vic Blends,” Jon Jones was asked if fans could expect “another rodeo” within Octagon. Jones has not decided whether to wear gloves again to compete in the UFC (via MMAFighting).
“As long as life fights and competes, we don’t know what life holds,” Jones told Vic Blend when asked if he could expect “another rodeo.” “I feel like I’ll be a lifelong martial artist even if I coach other people, do exhibition matches and stuff like that. There’s still a lot of great competition in the UFC.
“I see myself as more than a fighter, and I feel like I have more options than many other fighters.
UFC CEO Dana White maintains optimism about being able to book Jones against Tom Aspinall at some point in 2025. The longer it takes to book the fight, the more fans and experts feel that Aspinall’s prime is wasted. It has yet to be seen whether White will eventually pull away from the fight.
