In March Jon Jones returned from a three-year hiatus to win the UFC heavyweight championship.

However, he might not stick around for long.

Talking to Fox Sports Australia, the 35-year-old heavyweight champion gave an update on the future and when he aims to retire from MMA.

“Right now, my goal is to have one more big fight against Stipe Miocic, Madison Square Garden and then kinda hang it up from there,” Jones said.

Jon Jones could come back for Francis Ngannou

With a 15 year UFC career and belts in two divisions, Jones claimed that he would have done more than enough if he beats the former champion.

“I’ve been in the game a long time and in fighter years, I’m an old guy. I’ve been training for a long time, I’ve been in the game for a long time and got some small injuries – I just really want to be around,” Jones said.

However, a fight against former UFC champion, now free agent, Francis Ngannou would be a reason to stick around for a while longer.

“I think a Francis fight would come with some serious revenue and that would make it worth my while. Francis is a former champion, he’s pretty damn popular here in America and across the world. It would bring in a lot of money and for that I would be willing to come back,” Jon Jones said.
