Jon
Jones is exploring additional stem cell treatment as he looks
to regain some of the mobility he has lost over the years.
The former
Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight and
heavyweight champion recently revealed plans for additional
treatment after speaking with Joe Rogan, who told him about his own
experience with the therapy. He also revealed that depending on the
result, a return to fighting could be in the cards.

Jon Jones says Francis Ngannou’s callout and the heavyweight
landscape have reignited his desire to fight
Jones said Rogan introduced him to Ways2Well and told him he had
experienced improved movement after receiving stem cell treatment
there.
“You never know what’s going to happen in life. I just talked to
Joe Rogan the other day, and he’s like, ‘I’ve got some friends out
at a place called Ways2Well, who gave me some initial stem cells
and I have been moving around way better than I used to’,” Jones
told Sporf.
Jones said Rogan encouraged him to continue the treatment to see
whether he experiences further improvement.
“So, I’m going to get more stem cells and see if that’s true and I
regain the mobility in my hips that I once had,” Jones said.
Despite his physical concerns, Jones‘ motivation remains strong,
particularly after working with Olympic wrestling gold medalist
Gable
Steveson.
“My heart and spirit are always there when it comes to fighting,”
Jones added. “Being around and coaching Gable Steveson and getting
called out by Francis
Ngannou and seeing how wide open the heavyweight division is,
it obviously creates this itch that I feel like I really want to
scratch.”
Jones will also continue working with Steveson as he monitors how
his body responds to training.
“I’m just going to let time tell me,” Jones said. “I’ll take Joe’s
advice and take more stem cells and continue to pour my energy into
Gable and continue to be his number one training partner, which
will obviously show me a lot about where I am physically.”
