Jon Jones is now likely to face Tom Aspinall for a heavyweight title unification bout, as UFC CEO Dana White confirms the fight is in the works. Following Alex Pereira's loss to Magomed Ankalaev, discussions of a superfight have ceased, clearing the way for Jones and Aspinall. Both fighters have expressed eagerness, with White stating Jones wants the fight and Aspinall urging for a contract signing. The bout is anticipated to take place in summer, following Jones's return to the octagon and Aspinall's interim championship victories.
Jon Jones definitely wants the fight, just when and where is what we're working on now. I'm very confident that that fight happens.
There's only one way, there's only one thing to do mate, sign the contract and let's get a date going.
