Jon
\nJones<\/a> believes the best version of himself doesn\u2019t involve
\ncompeting in MMA. <\/p>\n

Jones (28-1) recently revealed that he might finally be done
\nfighting. Jones believes he is still fit enough to hold his own
\nwith some of the best fighters in the world. However, Jones, widely
\nconsidered the greatest of all time, is only used to competing with
\ntop competition. Jones wants to retire with his legacy intact
\ninstead of continuing to a point where he takes unnecessary damage
\nand some losses.<\/p>\n

\u2018My Best Self Is On Its Way\u2019<\/h2>\n

  \u201cI think my best self is on its way, and that\u2019s a person
\nwithout fighting, and I\u2019m excited to forge this guy\u2026I think I could
\nbe done,\u201d Jones told Helen Yee<\/a>. \u201cI know I am young enough to
\ncompete with some of the best fighters in the world, I\u2019m healthy
\nenough to compete with some of the best fighters in the world, but
\nI\u2019ve always been used to competing with the best in the world.
\nThat\u2019s a really high standard to uphold. Maybe it’s just about
\ndoing it right and getting out at a really good time. I don’t want
\nto be one of these fighters that wins some and loses some, and
\ncan\u2019t remember what your name is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 decision comes after news of his arthritis was leaked
\nagainst his permission. While \u201cBones\u201d retired as the heavyweight
\nchampion last year, he returned to the testing pool soon after when
\nthe plan for a
\nUFC<\/a> White House event was announced. Jones was rallying for a
\nWhite House matchup against Alex
\nPereira<\/a> until recently. However, a recent conversation recorded
\non Meta glasses showed Jones revealing his arthritis. The former
\nUFC double champ said that his left hip is severely compromised
\nwith arthritis and he is even considering hip replacement. Jones
\nsubsequently slammed the guy who leaked the news.  <\/p>\n
