Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall Fight Delayed as Negotiations Continue

Dana White reaffirms the fight will happen, but no date is set as Jones seeks preparation time and Aspinall remains optimistic after UFC meetings.

Dana White has reiterated that the heavyweight unification fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is confirmed in principle but lacks an official date.
Jon Jones has reportedly requested six months to prepare for the fight, further delaying its scheduling.
Interim champion Tom Aspinall expressed optimism after a meeting with UFC executive Hunter Campbell, stating he now understands the UFC's position.
Fans and fighters continue to criticize the delay, with some accusing Jones of avoiding the fight to protect his legacy or pursue a UFC record for the longest heavyweight title reign.
Speculation about Jones' financial demands, including a rumored $30 million purse, remains disputed, with Aspinall publicly supporting Jones' right to a significant payday.
