Jon Jones Plans Careful Comeback, Aiming for Big Return After Retirement
After UFC 317, Dana White surprised everyone by saying Jon Jones was retiring. The news shocked fans, but soon talk of a return began when the White House card was announced. People started to wonder if Jones was really done or if he would step back into the octagon. Now, Jones has shared an update about himself. He said he feels good, focused, and in the right mindset, which keeps fans hopeful about what he might do next.
Jones said he’s taking his time to get his body right and build himself back up, looking to close out this chapter of his career on a high note. The heavyweight champ isn’t in any rush. He knows good opportunities are on the horizon, but he’s not about to force anything. Jones is playing the long game here – he’s got his goals mapped out and he’s sticking to his timeline, not anyone else’s.
“Life is good, your boy is healing. Becoming stronger so that I can finish my old man chapter like a real badass. I think a lot of great things are to come, but all great things take time. I’m patient, I’m a man on a mission, a man with a plan,” Jones said.

Instead of jumping back in half-ready, he’s making sure everything lines up perfectly before he makes his next move. That’s the kind of approach that’s served him well throughout his career, whether it’s a Chael Sonnen fight or not fighting Tom Aspinall.
Tom Aspinall Dismisses Jon Jones White House Fight Idea
When talk of Jones returning started, fans hoped for the fight again. But Aspinall has said he isn’t interested, ending any chance of it happening. What was once the biggest matchup in the division is now gone. He said, “Not interested mate. The world shouldn’t be either. What’s the point? Just false hope.”
Aspinall admitted that even though he reached his goal of becoming champion, he would have preferred to win it in a unification fight. He was also disappointed that the matchup with Jones never happened. Still, if Jones does return, Aspinall has made it clear he would take the fight without hesitation.
