The potential comeback from Jon Jones to the UFC has moved to the next phase because the former champion has returned to the gym.
A few weeks ago after the first event of the UFC in Azerbaijan, Dana White announced that the heavyweight Saga, including Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, finally ended when Jones officially retired.
Nevertheless, not long after Jones teased a huge U-Bend during his retirement and claimed that he was back in the test pool after it was revealed that Donald Trump will organize a UFC event in the White House next year.
And after he had teased his potential comeback, Jones claimed that he enjoys his new position to be the 'hunter' instead of the 'hunted'.

Jon Jones returns to the training after teasing potential comeback
During the entire heavyweight Saga, which lasted a few months, Jones revealed that he had not trained all the time, making his comeback even less likely.
Now, now in his retirement, the 37-year-old has chosen to return to the gym and can still return to the Octagon for a final dance.
“Oh boy, we're back,” Jones said, wiping Spiderwebben from the shutter area to his gym.
From this moment on it is unclear whether 'bones' are serious or not to return to the sport, only a few weeks after announcing his retirement.
If the UFC and Donald Trump are serious about organizing an event on the White House site, it must be a huge superfight and Jones would be a welcome addition to the event.
Fans respond to Jones who return to training
In the past year, Jones has lost a lot of credibility at the UFC fan base, even though it is still considered the greatest hunter of all time.
Nevertheless, fans have now returned to the training, shared their reactions to the potential news of his return.
“Bro's ego couldn't handle forgetting,” a fan commented on his message.
“Dana must have offered the bag he wanted,” said another fan.
“Donald Trump that you hand over the heavyweight belt for the White House is straight (fire). The goat is back,” a third fan responded.
“Again, champion,” another fan responded.
