**Jon Jones Retains Heavyweight Title with Stunning Victory Over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309**

Jon Jones showcased his dominance in the UFC once again by retaining his heavyweight title with a spectacular spinning back kick to Stipe Miocic's body during UFC 309. The decisive moment came in the third round of their highly anticipated match. Following this defeat, MMA legend Stipe Miocic announced his retirement, closing the chapter on what has been a remarkable career.

Despite his continued success, the 37-year-old Jones is facing criticism for his perceived reluctance to fight interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Instead of contemplating retirement, Jones aims to bolster his storied legacy even further. This ambition follows a decade-long unbeaten streak at light heavyweight before moving up to dominate the heavyweight division, where he's remained unbeaten. Jones captured the UFC heavyweight title after a first-round submission victory over Ciryl Gane and successfully defended it against Miocic.

However, many fans and critics argue that Jones is avoiding a fight with Aspinall. The British heavyweight has delivered six consecutive first-round finishes, making a strong case for a title shot. Rather than facing Aspinall, Jones has shifted his focus towards Alex Pereira, the current UFC light heavyweight champion who is interested in moving up to heavyweight.

In light of the criticism, Jones has humorously acknowledged these accusations by updating his Instagram profile picture to feature a cartoon duck wearing the UFC belt, embracing the narrative that he is "ducking" Aspinall. This move has only added to the ongoing debate about who should be next in line to challenge Jones for the heavyweight title.
