Jon Jones' comments that he would retire after UFC 309 appear to have faded by the wayside as he says he will fight in 2025, though still does not want to face Tom Aspinall.

Both Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka recently lost their battles with the current champion, Alex Pereira. Now, they’re set to face each other in a crucial showdown at UFC 311 on January 18. Jamahal Hill hasn’t held back since losing his light heavyweight title.

The last time Jones was seen in action was in March 2023 when he quickly submitted Ciryl Gane to win the vacant UFC heavyweight title. Jones and Miocic were supposed to fight November of last year, but an injury to Jones pushed the fight back a year.
