Jon Jones called out Stipe Miocic after a dominant first-round submission win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 last weekend. <\/p>\n
The fight also marked Jones’ return to the octagon after a hiatus of three years. UFC president Dana White claims that he wouldn’t be shocked to see ‘Bones’ retire after defending his title against Miocic. The 53-year-old recently told TMZ Sports:<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t be shocked either if he fights Stipe and then retires and doesn’t fight again.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Talk of Jones’ potential retirement popped out of nowhere as White was discussing the outcome of a potential outing between ‘Bones’ and Francis Ngannou. According to the UFC president, Ngannou’s UFC 270<\/a> clash against Gane is proof that ‘The Predator’ also wouldn’t have stood much of a chance against Jones. White told TMZ:<\/p>\n
“Let me tell you what, I think, a lot of other people feel this way, I think that’s exactly the way the fight would’ve gone if [Ngannou] was in there, too. [Francis] and Ciryl had a five-round war, and if Ciryl doesn’t go for that submission, Ciryl probably wins that fight. At the end of the 5th round there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
