UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has spoken out about the promotion's current heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
Alexander Volkanovski on the Overdogs Podcast
If you're the champ, you defend your belt - it's a responsibility. You need to be reasonably active. If you've got an interim champ, that's a no-brainer. Don't hold up the division. I know your résumé is incredible, you're considered the GOAT. So if you don't want to fight, just retire.
Jones last fought against Stipe Miocic in November 2024 at UFC 309. Jon won that fight by TKO in the third round and defended the UFC heavyweight title. He has 28 wins, one loss and one fight that was ruled a no contest.
Jones was also the UFC light heavyweight champion. He won the belt in March 2011 at UFC 128. Then Jon defeated Brazilian Mauricio Rua by technical knockout in the third round.
