Although he is generally considered the greatest hunter of all time, Jones will not technically finish his career undefeated.
UFC Heavyweight Champion, Jon Jones, continues to separate himself from the rest of the battle sports world while constantly shows his skills in the most important promotion.
Jones defended his title against Stipe Miocic on UFC 309 last November and finished the greatest heavyweight of all time in the third round.
After that fight, Jones hinted to potentially pension instead of uniting the title against the interim champion, Tom Aspinall, so that fans labeled him as a 'duck'.
Despite that, UFC -Baas, Dana White begged that if Jones is going to fight, he then has to fight against Aspinall and claims that he would strip Jones if he was not fighting Aspinall.

Demetrious Johnson brings the UFC loss of Jon Jones into the goat debate
Earlier this week, White gave a positive update about the return of Jones, which stated that we could see the 37-year-old in the summer in action.
And with that White also stated that we could see the winner of Jones vs Aspinall fighting Alex Pereira in a heavyweight superfight, where Pereira would compete at UFC 313 this Saturday.
If Jones Aspinall were to defeat and possibly accept 'Poatan', there would be no doubt about the goat debate, however, colleague -legend who is also considered for the title, Demetrious Johnson, raised the only UFC loss of Jones.
“You look at the best, they all lost,” said DJ while discussing the subject on the Jaxxon podcast.
“(Jon Jones) lost, he lost to Matt Hamill, yes, he lost f— – he broke the rules. Because loss is a loss. 28 victories and one loss, he lost to Matt Hamill … still a loss of motherf – ', Johnson continued as he argued with Rampage Jackson.
The loss of Jon Jones is still despite the recent control change
In 2009, only a few fights in his UFC official period, Jones was disqualified from his fight against Matt Hamill after landing several 12-6 elbows, who were considered illegal at the time.
Since then, Jones has admitted that he had won his unbridled record, especially now that the rules in MMA have changed and the 12-6 elbow is now a legal strike.
UFC Baas, White, has fought tirelessly over the years to try to destroy the loss to a NO match, but he has never been successful.
Although the majority of fans do not consider it a loss, new fans will look at the record of Jones for years, they will see that he has one loss next to his name and has not undefeated his career.
