Less than two months ago, UFC CEO Dana White made a rare on-the-record guarantee that Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall for the unified heavyweight championship would take place in 2025.
Nothing has been announced since then, and White indicated Friday that the fight is still far from finalized when speaking to Oscar Willis of The Mac Life.
White first showed enormous interest in booking Jones vs. Aspinall after “Bones” logged his first title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in November. Jones dismissed facing the interim champion unless he got paid “f*ck you money” by the UFC while also teasing retirement, but White remained confident it would happen.
