Jon Jones is not ruling out a return to the octagon.
The former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion has been part of Gable Stevesonâs camp for his UFC debut on July 11, when he faces off with Elisha Ellison at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, and said that has kept him in great shape.
Away from the UFC since late 2024, he credits stem cells treatment for his recovery.
âNever say never,â Jones wrote on social media when asked about fighting again. âRight now we are finishing up Gableâs training camp. Heâs looking extraordinary. Iâve been his main training partner, and Iâm moving like I never left. Stem cells must be working.â
Jones revealed earlier this year he had âsevere arthritisâ and âalready qualify for a hip replacementâ after decades of training in wrestling and MMA. He hasnât fought since a third-round knockout over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, and said âI went to bed in so much painâ during that camp.
âBonesâ, who turns 39 in July and holds a pro record of 28-1 with one no-contest, has campaigned for a heavyweight clash with Alex Pereira at the UFC White House card earlier this month before the Brazilian went on to face and lose to Ciryl Gane instead.

Closet door?
i always get annoyed with these guys when they say this stuff but these fucking reporters always ask and they have to say something. how many years have we been hearing about maybe gsp will come back?
itâs obnoxious but itâs not their fault.

I think after seeing the dude he beat in 1.03 seconds winning the belt, and a dude being hyped as the next title contender after beating two fat 15 year past their prime dudes, while being unable to finish a white belt armbar, on a guy doing less defense than a WWE wrestling buddy from the 90âs was enough to get him motivated to come back.
Itâs easy money for him and heâll never be able to earn like this after itâs done. People talk shit about UFC pay but Jones is probably 10 mil+ a fight. He canât earn that with anything else (unless boxing but he would lose and Danâs wouldnât let him do it).
I donât blame guys like GSP or Khabib, but Jon has been honey dicking fans and the UFC for like 5 years.
He really wanted to make the White House card about himself.
