Jon
\nJones<\/a> believes his victory over Stipe
\nMiocic<\/a> was a fitting conclusion to his fighting career, though
\nhe regrets missing the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>\u2019s White House event.<\/p>\n

Jones has not competed since stopping Miocic at UFC
\n309<\/a> in November 2024. Speaking to The Schmo, \u201cBones\u201d reflected
\non that victory and described his absence from
\nUFC Freedom 250<\/a> as one of his biggest regrets.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones reflects on Stipe Miocic victory as possible final
\nUFC fight, regrets missing UFC Freedom 250<\/h2>\n

Jones said his last bout was particularly meaningful because his
\nfather and late brother were there, along with then-President-elect
\nDonald Trump. He described beating Miocic, widely regarded as one
\nof the greatest heavyweights, as a career high point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really do believe that was my last moment inside the cage \u2013 and
\nit was great,\u201d Jones told The Schmo. \u201cI got to fight, my brother
\nwas still alive at the time, my father was there. I got to tell the
\nworld that I love Jesus, and that will never change. I got to
\nsalute our President. Stipe Miocic was considered the greatest
\nheavyweight of all time. You know, we’re both older, but to defeat
\nhim, I don’t really see how it can get bigger than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones nevertheless regrets missing the White House card. Before the
\nevent, he said his team was negotiating for a spot, while UFC CEO
\nDana
\nWhite<\/a> maintained that Jones had never been under
\nconsideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was the White House card,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThat was one of the
\nfew nights in my career where I just was thinking, \u2018I should have
\nbeen there.\u2019 I usually don’t regret decisions, but that was one of
\nmy big regrets in life, not being a part of the White House. But if
\nI never fight again, I think I’m pretty damn happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
