Jon Jones, the UFC's two-weight champion, is in a tough spot. He's considering retirement after his upcoming fight against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. Fans are eager to see him face other contenders like Tom Aspinall, but will he hang up his gloves instead? Jones has always been under scrutiny for his actions inside and outside the Octagon. His decision will definitely shape the future of the heavyweight division.
