Jon Jones doubles down on his claim that the UFC has known about his plans to retire since last year, and urged him to reconsider.

He has been very busy on social media since then. In one of his latest sessions interacting with UFC fans on X, Jones was asked to name the best performance of his career. His answer is unlikely to surprise people: his first fight with Alexander Gustafsson.

"It was always rumors of him retiring," Aspinall said on "The Diary Of A CEO" podcast. "He's putting stuff out in the media saying that he's retiring because MMA, especially at an elite level, is quiet. You hear rumors a lot. I heard rumors from people close to him that he's going to retire and that he's not living like an athlete."
