On the eve of his first heavyweight title defense, Jon Jones raised doubts about his future. While retirement still seems likely, 'Bones' has demonstrated interest in facing Alex Poatan, but despised the idea of fighting against Tom aspinall. He faces Stipe Miocic No. UFC 309 next Saturday (9).
Em live, On Instagram, Jones showed irony when responding to criticism and asking to be called 'duck', 'chicken' (term used for fighters considered weak) or 'goat' (translation of 'GOAT', acronym in English for 'best of all time'). The champion emphasized that these comments do not affect him and that he is focused on bigger goals.

“I see a lot of people here calling me a duck. I am a duck! Call me a duck, call me a chicken, call me a goat. I’m not in high school anymore, folks. I’m a grown man chasing my dreams out there. It’s funny that we actually live in a world where being called a duck should affect me. Come on, folks!” said the heavyweight champion.
Considered the greatest middleweight in history (up to 93 kg), Jon Jones has accumulated 27 wins and only one loss by disqualification. In his career, 'Bones' won 15 title fights.
