Jon Jones wants to fight against Stipe Miocic at the end of the year at New York’s Madison Square Garden as he will put his title on the line and, after that, retire from fighting.
The UFC champion shared that in an interview.
“I assume the Stipe clash will be a lot for me,” Jones claimed. “I feel like I would have done all after defeating Stipe Miocic. I’ve been in the fighting business for a long time. For this sport, I’m an old guy. I’ve been preparing for a long time. Have some small injuries.
I think I will stop very soon, and I’m satisfied. I’m really honored with my career.”
