“Troll on My Friend” – Jon Jones Reiterates Retirement

UFC champion and arguably the Greatest of All Time, Jon Jones, stands firm on his decision to retire.

Recently, Jones posted a tweet that said, ‘I’m going to blow your mind right now. Type in any 3 digit number then “new cases” on google.’

The American was trying to highlight the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the world. However, he received hilarious responses to his post. Many of them were not even related to the subject. Besides that, some fans also used the opportunity to troll the champion.

Jon Jones claims that he is retired for life

When a fan tried to mock Jones by bringing up his controversial past, Jones simply responded with the following tweet.

A couple of weeks ago, Jones found himself in a contract dispute with the UFC. According to the champion, the company denied his request for a bigger paycheck to fight Francis Ngannou.

UFC president Dana White responded to Jones’ comments, and the whole situation escalated to a higher level. The duo went back and forth for a while. Jones even talked about retiring. Although White has stated that he will solve the issue with Jones, it is unclear how or when he will do that.

Since then, fighters like Jorge Masvidal and Curtis Blaydes have also spoken out on fighter pay.

Can Jones afford to retire?

Jones has already reached the pinnacle of the sport. Many fans believe that he has nothing left to prove at light heavyweight. But others claim that he must fight Dominick Reyes again.

As of now, Jones has enough money to retire and never fight again. Throughout his UFC career, he has earned a disclosed amount of $7,230,000 (sponsorships and other sources excluded).

Do you think that Jon Jones has retired for good?
