The story of Jon Jones has always been unpredictable, and retirement hasn’t slowed down the drama. The former champion has been on a rollercoaster ride—ups, downs, and plenty of twists—leaving the heavyweight division stuck in limbo after his decision to walk away.

Jon Jones reacted to Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC 319 title win with a one-word message on social media. ‘Congratulations,” he tweeted alongside a wolf emoji that symbolized Chimaev’s nickname. Later, Jones expressed an interest in training with the newly crowned UFC middleweight champion.
