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.
