Overview

  • UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed the heavyweight title unification fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is planned for 2025 but remains unscheduled.
  • Negotiations are stalled, reportedly due to Jones’ camp requesting extended preparation time and a larger purse, leaving the event in limbo.
  • Tom Aspinall continues to challenge Jones publicly, accusing him of avoiding the fight and sharing detailed fitness metrics to showcase his readiness.
  • Experts, including Joe Rogan, have raised concerns about Aspinall’s lack of five-round fight experience, contrasting it with Jones’ proven endurance in championship bouts.
  • Discussion suggests the fight could headline UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden, but Jones’ reported six-month training request may complicate a November timeline.
