Jon Jones plans to retire from fighting after defending his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic later this year.
Jones, 35, is widely considered the greatest MMA fighter of all time by fans and the two-time UFC champion could be hanging up his gloves at the end of this year. 'Bones' won the heavyweight belt by tapping out Ciryl Gane in just over two minutes in March and he wants to call it quits after making the first defence of his belt against Miocic at the UFC's New York pay-per-view event in November.
“Right now, my goal is to have one more big fight against Stipe Miocic, Madison Square Garden and then kinda hang it up from there,” Jones told Fox Sports Australia. “I think the Stipe fight will be plenty for me. I feel like I don’t really have much to prove after beating Stipe Miocic."
