Jon told him to change it Fans in shock as BJJ star Gordon Ryan accidentally reveals retir

August 05, 2024

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has hinted towards a possible retirement in his buildup to the UFC 295 fight. Jones is set to defend his title against former heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic in the month of November. However, ‘Bones’ hasn’t confirmed any of his retirement plans to the media. But, a recent Instagram post from Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Gordon Ryan revealed Jones’ plan to retire from combat sports.

Recently, Jones and Ryan were involved in multiple training sessions in preparation for the Stipe fight. Ryan, on his latest Instagram post with Jones, left a caption which baffled many MMA fans. Ryan wrote, “Another few days of work with the man @jonnybones. I’m looking forward to watching him put on the grand finale for the fans and leaving the sport at the top, on his terms, and unbeaten. What an honor to be a part of this last camp.” Further, Ryan changed his caption after already posting his pictures with Jones. Fans left their reactions to this chaos as one of them commented, “Jon prolly told him to change it lmao.“

Previously, Jones said that he could possibly retire after UFC 295. The 36-year-old has no plans to stay in the game and pick on upcoming heavyweights. In his illustrious UFC career, Jones has stayed at the pinnacle of the sport since 2011.

After Ryan’s post, November 11th could be the last time fight fans see the heavyweight champion compete in the octagon. After his win against Ciryl Gane, a challenge against an already-established heavyweight like Miocic could pose a huge threat to Jones.

Jon winning the title off Gane, defending it against 76 year old Stipe and then retiring will genuinely have his fans calling him the greatest HW of all time and it’s gonna drive me to insanity

November 11th is going to be a big day for Bones. A win against heavyweight great Stipe Miocic could most possibly conclude Jones’ career in the UFC. The 36-year-old has achieved everything that could possibly be won in the fight game. However, the end of such an amazing career is bound to break the hearts of many MMA fans.
