Jon Jones Responds to Retirement Criticism
Briefly

Jon Jones, often considered the greatest of all time in MMA, faced backlash after his recent retirement announcement, especially following his successful comeback wherein he won the heavyweight title. Despite being criticized for taking time off and neglecting to defend the title, Jones expressed pride in his retirement, highlighting that he is still dominating. The situation was compounded when Dana White announced his retirement, leading to a petition to strip him of the title. Jones insists that fighters should have autonomy in deciding when to retire, countering the notion that fans dictate their careers.
"I guess everybody else gets to retire - just not when you're still dominating. Funny how that works," Jones wrote on his Instagram Stories.
"Forget personal goals, forget business ventures. Some folks really believe you should fight until they say you've had enough. Wild."
