Jones is better off retiring than getting embarrassed in the Heavyweight Division

Mindset like that is why you have the Khabib Nurmagomedovs of the world nearly killing themselves multiple times in fear of facing opponents their own size and retiring when they're 31.

If Jones fights Pavlovich

Jones is washed up and can no longer use steroids. He's better off staying retired and leaving it a mystery. Ngannou, Gane and Pavlovich would all punch his head into the 18th row now.

Turns out it was a good idea because if he kept fighting he would lose. He would have a loss and only 5 top ten wins. Nobody would see him as a GOAT candidate. By retiring early he maintained an image of invincibility and made casuals think he is on the same level as Jones, GSP, Fedor, Silva, Aldo, DJ, etc.

Why? Fedor continued, and has been embarrassed numerous times
 
He had clearly lost a step last time we saw him and that was nearly 3 years ago now. He's doing what GSP did after the Hendricks fight, keeping his name out there and if the perfect opportunity arrives (chance to fight somebody he thinks he will beat, for the belt and a decent amount of money) he will be back. Ex: Jones vs Stipe for the Vacant belt if Ngannou leaves to go box.

After that he will retire without defending just like GSP.. Not sure if he will use the diverticulitis excuse or think of something different.

You can't forget about the cheating Khabib did to make weight and the UFC allowing it. Also Volk is the biggest example of a weight bully. Dude was 200+ lbs at Rugby, so he should be fighting at MW or WW instead of weight bullying the FWs.
