Jon Jones remains under a UFC contract that obligates the promotion to offer him fights while he stays in the anti-doping testing pool, limiting realistic paths to another organization before year-end. His most recent activity involves serving as Gable Steveson’s primary training partner ahead of the prospect’s July 2026 debut, where Jones reported strong physical condition thanks to stem-cell therapy addressing longstanding hip arthritis. Public comments since his November 2024 win over Stipe Miocic have consistently left the door open for an octagon return rather than pursuits outside UFC, with earlier flirtations involving boxing or cross-promotional bouts against Francis Ngannou stalled by contractual and promotional hurdles. These factors align with trader consensus pricing the probability of a non-UFC fight by December 31, 2026, at just 7.5%.
