Dana White says Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall heavyweight clash is in the works

UFC CEO Dana White has announced plans for a heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, putting to rest speculation about Jones avoiding the matchup. Speaking at the UFC 309 pre-fight press conference, White emphasized that if Jones desires a super fight with Alex Pereira, he must first take on Aspinall.

During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, White revealed that contrary to public perception, Jones has not shied away from fighting Aspinall behind closed doors:

"[Jon Jones] has never said behind the scenes, 'I won't fight Tom Aspinall.' It's the exact opposite… Jones is like 37 [or] 38 years old now, has these huge gaps in between fights, he is not afraid to fight Tom Aspinall. He will fight Aspinall and it will be the biggest fight in UFC history."
