"[Jon Jones should have fought] just to be nice to Tom? The Ultimate Fighting Charity, it is not. It's a very selfish sport.
Everyone's like, if Jon knew he was gonna retire, he should have retired after the Miocic fight, but it's like, why would he do that?
In combat sports, the second you retire, your trajectory is down. It'll never go back up.
For the last, however long since that fight, he's getting 8 months of endorsement deals. He's getting 8 months of promotion as being the heavyweight champion of the world. Should he have kicked himself in the nuts? Retired straight away? And then no one cares anymore. The second you retire, people just completely lose interest."
Dan Hooker on Jon Jones' decision to not fight Tom Aspinall.
