Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones said he has no intention of changing his record or appealing the only defeat he suffered by disqualification.
Jones suffered a disqualification loss to his compatriot Matt Hamill in December 2009 due to illegal elbow strikes.

The promoter in me says that that 1 should be removed from my record, that way, I could be truly marketed as an undefeated fighter. But the athlete in me knows that rules are rules, and at the time when I was disqualified, 12-6 elbows were illegal. So I broke the rule, and I paid the cost by having a loss. It just is what it is.
Jones last stepped into the octagon against Stipe Miocic in November 2024 at UFC 309. That fight, which was stopped in the third round, ended in Jon's favor by technical knockout. Jon has 28 wins and one loss on his record, with one fight ruled a no contest.
