UFC CEO, Dana White has admitted he’s open to the choice of stripping present heavyweight champion, Jon Jones of his title if the Rochester native isn’t on the desk for a unification conflict with interim gold holder, Tom Aspinall by the summer time — claiming the division might want to “transfer on.
Jones, a former two-time mild heavyweight champion and a present heavyweight gold holder, most not too long ago headlined UFC 309 again in November at Madison Sq. Backyard, efficiently defending his championship.
Welcoming former two-time heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic again to motion, Jones would flip in a dominant third spherical spinning again kick to the physique knockout of the Ohio veteran.
And instantly linked with a title unification conflict with present interim gold holder, Aspinall within the time since, the British favourite has claimed talks are progressing on his overdue conflict with former pound-for-pound primary, Jones.

Nevertheless, talking with Oscar Willis forward of UFC Saudi Arabia this weekend, White claimed if come July the pairing of Jones and Aspinall is but to be nailed down, the division will seemingly should “move on”.
“Yeah, there’s no situation.It’s the biggest fight that we can make and, you know, I know the fans like to mess with Jon (Jones) or whatever,” Dana White mentioned. “Jon Jones isn’t afraid of anybody and Jon Jones will fight anybody. It’s just a matter of getting the fight done now. That’s our job.”
“One hundred percent,” Dana White mentioned of doubtless stripping Jon Jones of the heavyweight title. “Listen, if we don’t get the fight done, we move on and we make another fight. But not last night, but the night before. I mean, I was up in my room with my people till like six in the morning. We’re working on lots of stuff right now. There’s lots of really good sh*t going on right now.”
