**New York, NY –** Jon “Bones” Jones retained his UFC Heavyweight title in a dominant performance against Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Jones secured a third-round TKO victory, delivering a spinning body kick that sent Miocic to the canvas, prompting the referee to stop the fight.

The highly anticipated matchup, initially slated for last year but delayed due to Jones’ injury, saw the champion control the fight from the outset. While Miocic showed moments of resilience, particularly in the second round, Jones’ superior grappling and striking proved too much. He consistently took Miocic down, landing punishing elbows that opened a cut above the former champion’s eye.

Immediately following the victory, Jones, who had previously hinted at retirement, surprised fans by stating he intends to continue his UFC career. “I decided maybe I will not retire,” Jones said. “I have some conversation to have with Dana (White). We have some negotiating to do. If everything goes right, then maybe we will give you guys what you want to see.”

Speculation immediately arose regarding Jones’ next opponent. He has previously been linked to potential “super fights” against Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall, suggesting a thrilling future for the heavyweight division. The UFC is expected to begin negotiations with Jones shortly to determine his next challenger.
