And he notched the first defence of his heavyweight title with a STUNNING spinning back kick KO of former champion Stipe Miocic.
Attention has turned to what’s next for the 265lbs champ, who was quick to rule out a unification bout with his interim counterpart Aspinall.

And just hours after attempting to once again shatter Aspinall’s “dream” of fighting him, Jones trolled the Brit with a cheeky Instagram update.

The photo was in reference to fight fans' claims he’s “ducking” Aspinall, who very much agrees with that notion.
One MMA fan said of the profile picture change: "Love it."
Another said: "Dope."

Minutes after sending Miocic into retirement, Jones revealed that he’s temporarily shelved his own plans to lay down his gloves.
