Chael Sonnen: Jon Jones Might Not Retire in 2025

Former UFC fighter and analyst Chael Sonnen doubts that Jon Jones will actually retire from MMA after his fight with Stipe Miocic. He believes Jones’ retirement talk is more of a marketing move or an attempt to grab attention.

Previously, Jones announced that his fight against Miocic, scheduled for November 2024, could be his last. However, Sonnen thinks the heavyweight champ won’t walk away from the sport, especially if a matchup with Tom Aspinall is on the table.

“Jones always says it’s his last fight, but we’ve heard that before. He’s too good to just walk away,” Sonnen said.

With Jones staying silent on the matter, his UFC future remains uncertain. Will he go out with a bang or continue dominating? Fans can only wait and see.
