Fresh off his heavyweight title win over Ciryl Gane, Jon Jones is already looking to cement his legacy as the greatest of all time in the UFC with another victory over Stipe Miocic. However, in a recent tweet, Jones hinted at the possibility of retirement after his upcoming fight with Miocic. Fans have been left wondering if this will be the last time, they will witness greatness in the octagon by Jones. While it remains unclear what Jones’ future holds, a victory over Miocic would be a fitting way to cap off an incredible career.
If Jon Jones emerges victorious against Stipe Miocic, he will have added another significant feather to his already impressive cap. A win over one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time would establish Jones as a two-division champion and leave him with little left to prove in the sport.
Such an achievement would be the culmination of a career marked by dominance and unmatched skill, and would undoubtedly cement Jones’ legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Despite his detractors, Jon Jones’ latest victory over Ciryl Gane serves as a reminder of his skill and ability to silence his critics. After such a long break from the octagon, many had doubted whether Jones could still compete at the highest level.
However, his performance against Gane was nothing short of dominant, and served as a warning to anyone who might have doubted his ability.

If Jones does decide to retire after his fight with Miocic, he couldn’t ask for a better location to complete his final fight than Madison Square Garden. Widely regarded as the Mecca of combat sports, MSG has hosted some of the most iconic fights in history. Here’s what the fans had to say about this:
A fan said:
Respectfully, Stipe is out of his prime. Francis finished him already. Fight one of the other hungry heavyweights who can actually challenge you.

Meanwhile one fan said:
Stipe was knocked unconscious sent to kuvukiland just as recently as his last fight. He’s even old ! He’s not suppose to be your last fight. Francis is the real champ and you damn well know you can’t beat him.

Some fan said:
I saw you win your second belt this March in Vegas and I will without a doubt be there in New York too see you go out on top!

A fan said:
If you do then that would seal the deal on GOAT discussions. Retiring undefeated (we know you’ve never lost really) while having the resume that you have would seal the deal. But you have a lot more fight in you. You’ll miss it while watching people you could beat become champs.
