UFC CEO Dana White has indicated that Jon Jones may return to the Octagon sooner than expected, aiming for a fight this summer against Tom Aspinall. White confirmed ongoing negotiations and emphasized his goal to finalize the matchup. However, Jones has expressed hesitancy without a lucrative offer. Additionally, the outcome of UFC 313, where Alex Pereira will fight Magomed Ankalaev, could influence the heavyweight title picture, with White suggesting that Pereira has ambitions to challenge Jones if he succeeds.
The plan is to fight Jon this summer... My goal this year is to make that fight [with] Aspinall.
If he rips through Ankalaev... this guy wants to go up to heavyweight and fight at heavyweight, too.
