A date for Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall looks no closer to being confirmed, although UFC president Dana White has said he is targeting a summer event for the heavyweight title fight.
Aspinall won the interim belt in late 2023, after regular-title holder Jones suffered an injury that ruled him out for a year. In Jones’s absence, Aspinall even defended the interim gold – an unusual move in the UFC – and retained it, before Jones returned and defended his own belt.
