Jon Jones made his highly-anticipated return to the octagon in November as he defeated Stipe Miocic via third-round TKO at UFC 309 to defend his heavyweight title for the first time.
Despite hinting at retirement leading up to the bout, he has since shared that he will continue his illustrious mixed martial arts career.
'Bones' recently reacted to a post from ESPN MMA, which suggested two-man tag team matchups, including one in which he teamed up with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. The Instagram post was shared with the caption:
"Imagine if the UFC did 2 man tag team matchups 🤯 These teams would be unstoppable 🔥 🎨[ @ifonlymma]".

Ilia Topuria picks Jon Jones as the greatest fighter of all-time
Jon Jones is widely considered to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, however, there have been others who have seen their names thrown into the mix. Ilia Topuria recently made it clear that he doesn't believe any other fighter compares to 'Bones'.
Speaking on the Full Send Podcast, the featherweight champion stated:
"The first one has to be Jon Jones. You have to give the credit to that man because, to me, it's too funny when I see people comparing him with the Dagestani guys. Even with Khabib [Nurmagomedov], with Islam [Makhachev]. All the respect to all the champions, but for example, Khabib he has, how many, 14, 15 fights in the UFC? Jon Jones has 15 title defenses."
Check out Ilia Topuria's comments on the greatest of all-time debate below:
Jones holds a plethora of UFC records, including most title bout wins, most title defenses, and longest reign as pound-for-pound champion. He has been widely labeled as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, including by UFC CEO Dana White and nearly every other fighter who has seen their name thrown into the conversation.
