Undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones has confirmed plans to retire from active competition ahead of an expected title defense against Stipe Miocic later this year, explaining how he can see the end of his competitive career on the horizon.
Jones, a former light heavyweight champion under the UFC banner to boot, added to his gold laden trophy cabinet back in March atop a UFC 285 card, minting himself as the undisputed heavyweight gold holder with a first round guillotine choke win over Ciryl Gane.
Expected to make a summer return against the returning former two-time heavyweight champion, Miocic at International Fight Week in July, a potential UFC 290 title headliner between the two was scuppered.
