End of an Era
UFC Heavyweight champion Jon Jones has all but confirmed his retirement from MMA, dashing Tom Aspinall's hopes of ever facing him in the octagon.
Swansong Fight
Jones, 37, will defend his heavyweight crown against former champ Stipe Miocic on November 16 in what he has hinted will be his last fight.
Unfulfilled Dreams
Aspinall, who has been gunning for a unification fight with Jones, may never get the chance to step in the octagon with the Hall of Famer.
Disappointment for Fans
Despite Dana White's assurances of a potential fight with Aspinall, Jones' retirement plans have seemingly ended any hopes of that happening.
A Dream Deferred
While Aspinall would have loved the opportunity to fight Jones, he remains focused on his own career and goals in the heavyweight division.
