Jones claimed that he turned down that offer. He also shed light on his relationship with Dana White and the promotion. In a recent tweet, he wrote that he had a great relationship with the UFC and also claimed to be the highest-paid fighter in the promotion. However, Jones chose to rehab properly and fight Miocic on another day.

Jon Jones will likely retire after his potential bout against Stipe Miocic. The interim champion, Tom Aspinall, has consistently called out the heavyweight champion. Despite the excitement among fans to witness that fight, Jones has shown disinterest on multiple occasions.
