Jon Jones Sets Conditions for Potential Fight with Tom Aspinall

At the press conference following UFC 309, Jon Jones made it abundantly clear that he has specific conditions in mind before he would agree to face Tom Aspinall in the Octagon. This event, held at Madison Square Garden, saw Jones successfully defend his UFC Heavyweight Championship against Stipe Miocic, winning by technical knockout.

With Miocic announcing his retirement right after the fight, Jones is now turning his attention to who he will face next. He hinted at a possible super-fight with Aspinall, the Interim Heavyweight Champion, but stressed the importance of discussions with UFC President Dana White prior to making any commitments.

Fans are eager to see a showdown between Jones and Aspinall, but Jones had previously shown some reluctance about the matchup leading up to UFC 309. However, his perspective appears to have changed following his victory over Miocic.

During the post-fight media session, Jones laid out his demands for a potential clash with Aspinall, declaring that he would consider retirement if his requests weren’t fulfilled. He made it clear that he values proper financial compensation for the fight, even stating he would be willing to relinquish the heavyweight title if necessary.

Jones remarked, “I want to be compensated to the point where, whether I win or lose, it wouldn’t significantly affect me. Honestly, my life is already fulfilling without him. I don’t need him at all. But he certainly needs me.”

As negotiations begin, the prospect of Jones stepping into the Octagon against Aspinall is gaining momentum, igniting enthusiasm among UFC fans. Keep an eye out for updates on this thrilling potential matchup.
