"I'm not sure if I'm retired or not. I'm just taking it day by day just trying to kind of figure out my body and how I feel, things like that. I'll tell you what, being here at the UFC right now definitely has given me this fire that I haven't felt in a little bit, so it feels very good to be here."
"You know, I feel like I wanted to be compensated in a way that I wasn't, and we just had a disagreement and that happens in life. But you know what, I'm a big fan of Alex Pereira. I love the way he carries himself, he's just such a classy fighter, potential opponent, person, big fan of him."
Jon Jones expressed uncertainty about his retirement status, stating he is taking it day by day. Attending UFC 327 reignited his passion for fighting. He last competed in November 2024, defending his heavyweight title. Although Dana White was confident about a potential matchup with Tom Aspinall, it did not materialize. Jones briefly retired last June but returned to the drug testing pool. He mentioned a disagreement over financial compensation with the UFC, which left him out of the UFC White House card, where Alex Pereira will fight Ciryl Gane.
