Jon
\nJones<\/a> is exploring additional stem cell treatment as he looks
\nto regain some of the mobility he has lost over the years.<\/p>\n

The former
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> light heavyweight and
\nheavyweight champion recently revealed plans for additional
\ntreatment after speaking with Joe Rogan, who told him about his own
\nexperience with the therapy. He also revealed that depending on the
\nresult, a return to fighting could be in the cards.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones says Francis Ngannou’s callout and the heavyweight
\nlandscape have reignited his desire to fight<\/h2>\n

Jones said Rogan introduced him to Ways2Well and told him he had
\nexperienced improved movement after receiving stem cell treatment
\nthere.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know what\u2019s going to happen in life. I just talked to
\nJoe Rogan the other day, and he\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019ve got some friends out
\nat a place called Ways2Well, who gave me some initial stem cells
\nand I have been moving around way better than I used to\u2019,\u201d Jones
\ntold Sporf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jones said Rogan encouraged him to continue the treatment to see
\nwhether he experiences further improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I\u2019m going to get more stem cells and see if that\u2019s true and I
\nregain the mobility in my hips that I once had,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

Despite his physical concerns, Jones’ motivation remains strong,
\nparticularly after working with Olympic wrestling gold medalist
\nGable
\nSteveson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart and spirit are always there when it comes to fighting,\u201d
\nJones added. \u201cBeing around and coaching Gable Steveson and getting
\ncalled out by Francis
\nNgannou<\/a> and seeing how wide open the heavyweight division is,
\nit obviously creates this itch that I feel like I really want to
\nscratch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones will also continue working with Steveson as he monitors how
\nhis body responds to training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just going to let time tell me,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI\u2019ll take Joe\u2019s
\nadvice and take more stem cells and continue to pour my energy into
\nGable and continue to be his number one training partner, which
\nwill obviously show me a lot about where I am physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I asked Jon Jones<\/a>
\n(@JonnyBones<\/a>)
\nwhether fights with Tom
\nAspinall<\/a> and Francis
\nNgannou<\/a> are still possible<\/p>\n
