TAMPA, Fla. – UFC CEO Dana White is not one to make guarantees when it comes to unconfirmed matchmaking, but Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall is an exception.
The much-desired heavyweight title unification bout between champ Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) and interim titleholder Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) has been in limbo as “Bones” teases retirement and dismissed a matchup with the Brit.
White expressed confidence that the fight would happen following Jones’ title defense against Stipe Miocic in November, and when asked at Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 63 post-fight news conference if he can be certain it would happen, White gave a definitive answer.
