However, &#8220;Bones&#8221; managed to dictate the pace of the fight, bringing Miocic to the ground with a flawless takedown. The champion maintained dominance, landing powerful elbows to Miocic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Round 2<\/strong>: The American champ set his pace, working Miocic\u2019s body with impactful kicks. Miocic, in return, only threw scattered punches in boxing range, failing to catch Jones off guard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Round 3<\/strong>: Miocic tried to diversify his attacks but remained predictable. Jones continued to exhaust his opponent with relentless pressure and returned fire to Miocic\u2019s face. Seizing the opportunity, &#8220;Bones&#8221; landed a spectacular spinning kick to Miocic\u2019s ribs, sending him crashing to the ground. The referee stopped the fight, and Jon Jones finished the job before Miocic could recover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, Jon Jones won via TKO in the third round against Miocic, successfully retaining his heavyweight title.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 696px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-4801-1\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FL-iHKeG3VSDl0Lf.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FL-iHKeG3VSDl0Lf.mp4\">https:\/\/mmamag.ma\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FL-iHKeG3VSDl0Lf.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the fight, Jones stated that he had no plans to retire, keeping the possibility open for matchups against Tom Aspinall or Alex Pereira.
