The greatest and best fighter in the history of mixed martial arts, Jon Jones He is really determined to leave the UFC. Last Saturday (16), in California (USA), the American was present at the first Netflix MMA event, participated in the broadcast and, as expected, stole the show. Excited by the experience and increasingly distant from returning to compete in the octagon, 'Bones' made a surprising revelation about the future of his career.
Jones has stated that, at 38 years old, he is considering switching from MMA to boxing, making it clear that he wants to test himself in the ring. Furthermore, Netflix, in partnership with 'Most Valuable Promotions', has been organizing large-scale boxing events. Aware of this, the former UFC light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) champion is taking advantage of the opportunity and putting himself on the radar of these companies.

Not surprisingly, the American also revealed his desire to leave the UFC and began dreaming of being released from his contract. But, unfortunately for him, Jones has an exclusive contract with the company and it's unlikely Dana White will authorize his departure. Interestingly, the athlete has never been a natural knockout artist, known for his explosiveness and power, but there's no doubt he would be successful in the ring. It's worth remembering that, in the past, 'Bones' clashed with... Tyson Fury, one of the best boxers in history.
“I really wanted to box. If I had focused all my energy solely on my hands, on the combinations and the power of my punches, I think I would have surprised a lot of people. I would love to box. That would be a lot of fun,” the MMA legend said in a conversation with his press agent.
