On today in 2020, the GOAT was called out to his face following an enormous knockout.
Jon Jones has suggested that he could possibly be completely done with fighting in recent weeks following a few of his comments about his health.
‘Bones’ hasn’t had Dana White’s backing to return on the White House in June but a fighter retiring only to compete again the next 12 months wouldn’t be all that surprising.
It’s not just like the consensus best of all time has never taken a break before either, with Jones taking day off before he beat Ciryl Gane to win the heavyweight title in his debut within the division.
Before he made the choice to vacate his light heavyweight title and work towards going up a weight class, a contender had already announced himself to the champion.

Jon Jones was glad to see Corey Anderson’s streak end when Jan Blachowicz knocked him out
Jon Jones’ controversial win over Dominick Reyes was the third fight in a series of fairly underwhelming title defenses for the sunshine heavyweight champion.
A fight that would have determined his fourth challenger since winning the vacant belt at UFC 232 would have needed an announcement performance to actually excite people.
Fortunately, that’s exactly what Jan Blachowicz did when he knocked out Corey Anderson of their rematch by demonstrating the Polish power in his right hand on today in 2020.
With the Fight Night going down in Latest Mexico, Jones was in attendance for the fight, meaning that Blachowicz was capable of send a direct message to him after the finish.
Despite this, Anderson, who has said that he was denied a shot at Jones prior to this fight as a consequence of his social media presence, was the principal subject of the champion’s thoughts on the bout.
“I used to be pleased to see Corey Anderson eat his words,” he told ESPN, as stated by Fox Sports. “He’s been talking a lot trash, after which to go on the market and perform the way in which he did, it was, uh, yeah.”
‘Bones’ was also complimentary of the victor but that didn’t change his mind about defending the belt another time before vacating it, resulting in Blachowicz accusing Jones of running from him.

An unlucky record was set on the identical night that Jan Blachowicz stopped Corey Anderson
The principal event of the UFC’s 2020 event in Rio Rancho, Latest Mexico led to a giant result but a number of the principal card bouts didn’t go the identical way.
In truth, this event made history by becoming the primary UFC card ever to have two disqualifications occur on the identical night.
Just one fight separated the losses of each Michel Pereira and Kazula Vargas, who suffered defeats because they landed illegal knees on their opponents.
Within the case of Pereira, who featured within the co-main event, this DQ ended up being the ultimate UFC win of Diego Sanchez’s iconic run within the promotion.
