"A recent conversation recorded on Meta glasses revealed Jones talking about his arthritis. The former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion was asked about a potential wrestling match against archrival Daniel Cormier. However, Jones dismissed the idea while revealing that he has severe arthritis in his left hip. Jones claimed that he has even qualified for a hip replacement surgery."
""I was talking to some guys in confidence, and he had one of those Meta glasses on like myself, and he ended up posting that. That wasn't for everybody to hear, but that's how life works. It is true I do have arthritis, and I've been an athlete my whole entire life, and it's just something that comes with it. I think I started sport at 7th grade, now I'm almost 40 years old.""
Jon Jones confirmed severe arthritis in his left hip and said he has qualified for hip replacement surgery. A private conversation recorded on Meta glasses was leaked, revealing his condition and prompting Jones to condemn the leaker. Jones attributed the arthritis to a lifelong athletic career beginning in seventh grade and approaching age forty, and said he has no regrets about competing. Jones said he wants to preserve his remaining good hip to play with his three-year-old son. Jones retired as heavyweight champion, briefly unretired after White House UFC event plans, and has pushed for a matchup with Alex Pereira.
