UFC CEO Dana White has continued to push for UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones to unify his belt against interim champion Tom Aspinall later this year.

Despite initial hesitance in facing Aspinall, Jones has since pivoted on that stance and is in active negotiations with the UFC brass for at least one more fight. In the buildup to UFC 309, Jones hinted at retirement after a legendary career in the Octagon.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has teased a “huge announcement”, with fans hoping for confirmation of a fight against Tom Aspinall. On Wednesday (5 February), Jones tweeted: “In 24 hours I’ll be making a huge announcement!

After giving a build-up for a huge announcement, Jon Jones disappointed the fight fans with a social media post that is not at all related to an upcoming fight, let alone a UFC Heavyweight title unification match against Tom Aspinall.

As Aspinall continues to wait for Jones to sign the dotted line, he kept a close eye on a high-profile heavyweight matchup at UFC Saudi Arabia. His former interim title adversary, Sergei Pavlovich, faced Jairzinho Rozenstruik in what was hyped as a potential banger fight on the main card.
