Since the match against Ciryl Gane in March 2023, Jon Jones has not played any more matches at UFC. He was scheduled to encounter Stipe Miocic at UFC 295. However, this pair could not happen because Jones had ligament injury. The possibility of Miocic returning to play is also left open.
Besides injury, the side troubles are also part of the reason why Jones has not been able to play regularly. He has only fought 2 matches in the past 4 years. After canceling the match against Miocic, Jones had just returned to practice in recent days. This boxer also shared some pictures on his personal page.
“The first day I came back to practice since injury. I felt great, and everything would start from here,” Jones wrote. In the case of Jones back to play, he may have to encounter a very strong strong opponent recently Tom Aspinall.
To fill the gap while Jones was injured, UFC held a temporary battle in the Light Heavyweight weight class. Tom Aspinall is the one who took the best opportunity, when he defeated Sergei Pavlovich. More notably, Aspinall finished the match after only 1 minute.
Since the time of professional MMA competition, Jones has never been defeated. The only time he was losing took place 15 years ago, the time when this boxer was disqualified for the illegal attack. After that, Jones had once canceled the victory result due to the discovery of doping.
