Jones announces retirement, Costa struggles with weight ahead of Murzakanov bout

Jon Jones announced his retirement, stating that fighter Jon Jones is gone and only businessman Jon Jones remains. Meanwhile, Paulo Costa is struggling significantly with the weight cut to 93kg for his fight against Azamat Murzakanov, despite previously competing at 84kg. Costa also reversed his earlier stance and now says he hates Russian fighters, claiming Murzakanov will be the second consecutive Russian on his record, with Chimaev planned as the third. Additionally, Johnny Walker gave Jiri Prochazka a surprise gift related to his daughter's upcoming birth, and Merab Dvalishvili plans to fight twice more this year despite a broken nose.
