Jon Jones announced what the next step is for him, only two days after he withdrew from MMA.
On Saturday Jones confirmed that his career is over after Dana White broke the news at UFC Baku.
'Bones' previously revealed his plan to become an actor after his Hall of Fame UFC Run was over.
However, the greatest hunter in the MMA history has now signed a deal to enter the business world.

Jon Jones announces dramatic career change
On Monday, Jon Jones revealed that he is the new Chief Performance Officer at Ketone IQ.
The company is known for its ketonester drink, which is designed to offer sustainable energy and to focus without trusting sugar or caffeine.
“I could no longer be excited to announce my new position at @ketone as their chief performance officer.” Jones wrote on Instagram.
“It was great in the cage, but I want my true legacy to be the way I do business, put my best foot ahead in everything I do. Ketone-IQ has been a game changer in my daily life, which gave me more mental clarity, focus and fuel to pass me on every day.
“I believe that I became co-owner of the company. Try it, this stuff hits.”
Why did Jon Jones retire?
At the age of 37, Jones achieved almost everything he can do in MMA's sport.
A fight with Tom Aspinall was on the table, but it doesn't bother him enough to continue.
After a period of uncertainty, Jones committed himself to his pension decision last weekend.
“Today I officially announce my pension from the UFC,” he said in a statement. “This decision comes after a lot of reflection and I want to take the time to express my deepest thanks for the journey I have experienced over the years.
“From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. The youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans around the world – these are memories that will be Cherish forever.
“I have confronted with incredible highlights and some heavy lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a hunter and as a person.
“I want to thank the UFC, Dana [White]Hunter [Campbell]Lorenzo [Fertitta]God, my family, coaches, teammates and all fans who have stood me through each chapter. Your relentless support and belief in me have been my basis.
“For my colleague hunters, thank you for the best in me and for the respect we have shared inside and outside the cage. While I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges.
“MMA will always be part of who I am, and I am excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and can inspire others in new ways. Thank you all that you are part of this incredible journey with me. The best yet to come.”
