They have been waiting with bated breath for what could be one of the biggest showdowns in recent memory. Ever since Jon Jones successfully defended his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic last November, speculation has been rampant about a potential clash with interim champion Tom Aspinall. The fight would not only unify the heavyweight titles but also pit one of the greatest fighters of all time against a rising British star who has been tearing through the division.<\/p><p>Despite Jones hinting at possible retirement after his victory over Miocic, UFC CEO Dana White has remained optimistic about making this dream match happen. The negotiations have been ongoing, with some apparent stalling in recent weeks. This has left fans wondering if the fight would materialize at all.<\/p><p>Aspinall himself took to YouTube to place the ball firmly in Jones&rsquo; court, suggesting any delay was coming from the champion&rsquo;s side. But now, White has provided fresh updates that give fans new hope that this heavyweight spectacle might finally become reality in the coming months.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-light-heavyweight-rankings-aftermath-of-ufc-313-as-magomed-ankalaev-shuts-down-alex-pereiras-striking-to-win-the-ufc-light-heavyweight-title\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC Light Heavyweight Rankings &ndash; Aftermath Of UFC 313 As Magomed Ankalaev Shuts Down Alex Pereira&rsquo;s Striking To Win The UFC Light Heavyweight Title!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dana White on Jones Wanting to Fight<\/h2><p>Speaking at the UFC 313 post-fight press conference following Magomed Ankalaev&rsquo;s upset victory over Alex Pereira, White offered clarity on the situation. He assured that Jones is not ducking and is willing to fight.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>&ldquo;Well, I think that, listen, Jon Jones definitely wants to fight just when and where is what we&rsquo;re working on now.

The timing seems to align perfectly with the UFC&rsquo;s 13th annual International Fight Week. It is scheduled for June, with UFC 317 as the headline event.<\/p><p>This prestigious slot would provide the ideal stage for what Dana White has openly described as potentially the biggest fight in the sport right now. The promotion typically reserves their most significant matchups for these showcase events, and Jones vs. Aspinall certainly fits the bill as a contest worthy of such a platform.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alex Pereira&rsquo;s Missed Opportunity<\/h2><p>In an interesting twist to the heavyweight saga, White had previously dangled another carrot for fight fans to consider. Before UFC 313, he suggested that light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira could potentially challenge the winner of Jones vs. Aspinall if he successfully defended his title against Ankalaev. This would have added another layer of excitement to the heavyweight picture, with the possibility of Pereira becoming a three-division champion.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#10071;&#65039; Dana White says that if Alex Pereira beats Magomed Ankalaev then he might be the P4P #1 &#128064;<br><br>&ldquo;If Alex comes out of this the way he&rsquo;s come out of every other fight, he might be the pound for pound best fighter in the world&rdquo;<br><br>via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FirstTake?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@FirstTake<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Jv2tBaBFc7\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Jv2tBaBFc7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ACD MMA (@acdmma_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/acdmma_\/status\/1897336130426822782?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>However, those plans were derailed when Ankalaev shocked the MMA world by dethroning Pereira in their light heavyweight title clash. The loss has temporarily halted Pereira&rsquo;s ambitious quest to move up to heavyweight. This clears the way for Tom Aspinall to be the only opponent for Jon Jones.<\/p><p>However, if the Brazilian reclaims his light heavyweight crown in a rematch with Ankalaev, talks of his heavyweight journey could certainly resurface. For now, though, the focus remains squarely on the impending clash between Jones and Aspinall, which appears closer than ever to becoming official.<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Brad Penner &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall title fight guaranteed by UFC CEO Dana White at the UFC 313 post-fight press conference!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":27392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1783],"tags":[1859,1858,1860],"class_list":["post-27380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mma","tag-dana-white","tag-jon-jones","tag-tom-aspinall"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dana White Confirms Jones vs. Aspinall Fight Timeline, Asserts Jon Jones Wants to Fight Tom Aspinall!
