While Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall is the fight that makes the most sense in the world right now, the contest is still impending an official announcement. The interim UFC Heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall, is ready to fight Jones anytime, anywhere but the ball is in the court of the champion. Being the prized fighter and the unanimous GOAT of the sport, Jon Jones will decide when the fight will take place if it all will happen.

Dana White Provides New Update On Potential Jones vs Aspinall Fight
Despite the pessimism around the fight, UFC boss Dana White has maintained his stance on the Jones vs Aspinall fight and has a new update to giveaway.
“The fight is going to happen. It’s just a matter of when now, getting it signed and done. The fight will happen,” White said in an interview with TNT Sports on Friday evening.
Jones vs. Aspinall is the biggest fight the UFC can make for the UFC undisputed heavyweight title.
“It’s going to happen. It’s done but it’s not done. Not done enough to sit right here now and announce it and give you a date. But the fight is going to happen,” White added. “It’s just a matter of getting it signed now.”
Aspinall hasn’t fought since defeating Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 to defend his UFC interim heavyweight title last July. Jones hasn’t fought since knocking out Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 this past November to defend the UFC heavyweight title.
“Me and my crew believe that this is probably the biggest heavyweight fight we’ve done. When we pull this off, and actually make the fight and announce it and start leading up to it, this will be the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history,” White continued.
Aspinall is growing tired of waiting for Jones to sign on the dotted line, telling Jones to fight him or retire recently.
“There’s no where to go for Jon,” Aspinall said. “He either has to fight me or retire now. And if he does retire, everyone knows that he will have been avoiding me. So there literally isn’t another fight for Jon at the moment. So it works out pretty good.”
