Jon Jones was deep in negotiations to fight Tom Aspinall before announcing his retirement earlier this year - and leaked footage has shown how he feels about the Brit

When Jon Jones retired from MMA in early 2025, he did so under somewhat complicated circumstances. By the time he hung up the gloves, he was irrefutably one of the greatest fighters in MMA history—maybe the best outright.

The feud between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall continues, with Jones questioning Tom's mental toughness. Aspinall has come under fire following his first UFC Heavyweight Title defense, which ended in a no-contest against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321.

Former UFC champion Jon Jones shared an emotional tribute to his former NFL star brother Arthur, who died suddenly at age 39 in early October. On Thursday, Oct. 23, Jon shared a compilation video in memory of Arthur, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, and penned a thoughtful caption.

UFC 321 went down last Saturday (Oct. 25, 2025) inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, leaving several fighters feeling the post-fight blues. Among them was Aleksandar Rakic, who suffered his fourth straight loss after he was knocked out by Azamat Murzakanov in the very first round (see it again here).

It's been nearly three weeks since the tragic passing of former NFL defensive tackle and Super Bowl champion Arthur Jones. Jones comes from a family of well-known athletes, with his younger brother Jon "Bones" Jones being arguably the most famous of all.
