Jon Jones, the UFC heavyweight champion, has expressed his satisfaction with his recent victory over Stipe Miocic, believing it to be a fitting conclusion to his fight career.

In an interview with The Schmo, "Bones" reflected on his career-defining match, describing his absence from the White House gathering as one of his biggest regrets. At the UFC Freedom 250 event, Jones's father, late brother, and then-President-elect Donald Trump were present, making it a particularly significant occasion. Jones felt honored to have defeated Miocic, widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights, and to share his faith and patriotism with the audience.
Despite his happiness with his career trajectory, Jones wishes he had been present for the White House card, admitting it was one of the few moments he wishes he had been part of. If his fighting days were to end, Jones expressed contentment with his accomplishments.
