Chael Sonnen has expressed skepticism towards Jon Jones’ recent talk of retirement post UFC 309, suggesting it may be a strategic marketing move. While Jones has indicated that his fight against Stipe Miocic could potentially be his last, Sonnen is questioning the genuineness of this statement due to Jones using the caveat “more than likely”. Sonnen suspects that Jones may have been influenced by someone else’s suggestion of retirement and could be leveraging it as part of a promotional tactic.
UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed that Tom Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion, will be the official backup for the Jones vs. Miocic fight.
