Since nothing concrete had come from Jon Jones regarding the continuation of his martial arts career, the UFC’s legendary fighter found himself on the sports media again this week. The cause of this was a video of his arrest last September released by Las Vegas police, which he then posted on Twitter in which he revealed that his fiancée Jessie Moses departed him two
He suggested that if people wanted to rejoice his calamity, they should be allowed to do so at this time. He got a variety of responses, including one which referred to his downfall. But with an optimistic speech, Jon refuted that sort of thing.
“No way, my friend,” Jones wrote. “I’m wise enough to realize how we all go through certain periods of time in our life. I’ve had a few fantastic and a few terrible experiences. I’m looking forward to the next one when I’ll be a heavyweight world champion who can accomplish anything on my own.” You may view
No way my guy, the story is far from over. I’m wise enough to know that we all go through seasons in life. I’ve had many great ones and several bad ones. I’m excited for the next one, about to be heavyweight champion of the world, capable of so many things, loved https://t.co/JKHzT69UJA

Since it became apparent that Francis Ngannou would not fight for some time, Jones has been linked with the interim title opportunity, and Stipe Miočić has become the most frequently mentioned opponent. However, since then, neither of them have stated more explicitly on this topic, and neither are any of the other top heavyweights. This was particularly aggravating for Chael Sonnen, who referred to the heavyweights as a group of idiots who don’t want to risk their own careers.
It has been two years since Jones last fought when he defeated Dominic Reyes. It might be another two and a half years before his next performance. Since becoming an MMA professional fighter, despite the numerous personal issues he had to deal with, the time between his fights has been one year and seven months on average. It was between his second fight against Daniel Cormier, in which his win was taken away due to a doping fall , and his second fight against Alexander Gustafsson, whom he defeated with one of the finest performances of his career.
Jones said the time has come for him to return, but he needs a little more time to fully acclimate his body to the demands and standards of the category he was moving into.
