Jon Jones (28-1, 1 NC MMA, 22-1, 1 NC UFC) has been out of active competition in MMA for about 14 months. On Nov. 16, 2024, “Bones” made what would prove to be the final walk to the fabled Octagon at UFC 309 in the main event of the evening for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
Jones had a wonderful arena to make that last walk to the cage that fall Saturday night. UFC 309 was the promotion’s 2024 pilgrimage to The World’s Most Famous Arena of Madison Square Garden in New York City.
