The former champion predicted exactly how the heavyweight title fight between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane would end.

When Jon Jones retired from MMA in early 2025, he did so under somewhat complicated circumstances. By the time he hung up the gloves, he was irrefutably one of the greatest fighters in MMA history—maybe the best outright.

UFC 321 went down last Saturday (Oct. 25, 2025) inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, leaving several fighters feeling the post-fight blues. Among them was Aleksandar Rakic, who suffered his fourth straight loss after he was knocked out by Azamat Murzakanov in the very first round (see it again here).

Chael Sonnen recently shared his two cents on Jon Jones, questioning his motivation. He noted that the former champion often chooses to stay away from octagon action, while other fighters are always ready to face him.

Former UFC champion Jon Jones shared an emotional tribute to his former NFL star brother Arthur, who died suddenly at age 39 in early October. On Thursday, Oct. 23, Jon shared a compilation video in memory of Arthur, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, and penned a thoughtful caption.

It's been nearly three weeks since the tragic passing of former NFL defensive tackle and Super Bowl champion Arthur Jones. Jones comes from a family of well-known athletes, with his younger brother Jon "Bones" Jones being arguably the most famous of all.

Aspinall vs Gane will mark the first heavyweight title fight since Jones finished Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 last November. The Rochester native later vacated the throne instead of unifying the titles against the Englishman, who was interim champ for a record length of time.

Eye pokes have been a persistent problem in mixed martial arts since the early days of the UFC. Tom Aspinall became the latest fighter to suffer from the issue, during his UFC 321 main event against Ciryl Gane.
