Jon Jones isn’t done adding to the accolades he’s amassed during his remarkable career.
On Friday, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion showed off an impressive collection of fight posters from his years spent competing in the promotion but it seems he’s not done building out a retrospect on his career just yet. While he remarked that he still needs to frame the poster from his most recent win over Stipe Miocic this past November, Jones also teased that he’s not done adding to his collection.
“As you can see… still haven’t framed or hung the Stipe fight yet,” Jones wrote on Instagram. “Been moving a million miles an hour lately. But there’s one last perfect spot left on my wall of victory. And looking at this wall—it really hits me. This isn’t just artwork. It’s legacy. Every poster tells a story. Different chapters. Different homes. Different battles. Wins that meant the world at the time. Fights that made history.
“I’ve said it before, my career hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been undeniably legendary. Epic. Special. Just a few words that come to mind. Legend after legend. Era after era. What I’m most proud of? I’ve evolved. I’m so much more than just a fighter. I’m a man growing stronger in my faith, a family man, a loyal brother to my team, a businessman, a leader, a man for my community. And I know—without a doubt—my mother would be proud of the man I’ve become.
“The wall’s almost filled… but trust me, the story’s still being written. The best is yet to come.”
That final line from Jones obviously suggests that he’s still not finished with fighting, although there’s been anxious anticipation awaiting when on when he might compete again.
All signs point towards Jones unifying the heavyweight title with interim champion Tom Aspinall but the British born fighter has been growing increasingly frustrated with a lack of updates on when they might actually compete.
Rumors have swirled for weeks that Aspinall might end up facing Ciryl Gane instead as the promotion continues searching for a main event for UFC 317 during International Fight Week 2025.
Nothing has ever been confirmed by the promotion and UFC CEO Dana White said as recently as the card in Kansas City that all plans are focused on booking Jones vs. Aspinall sometime in 2025.
This latest update from Jones shows he’s obviously still planning to fight again but when that happens remains to be seen.
