"Say SIKE RN" - Fans react to Dana White dropping major update on potential Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall heavyweight clash

UFC CEO Dana White recently shed some light on the highly anticipated title unification bout between Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall. Netizens have now reacted to White’s comments.

UFC interim heavyweight titleholder Aspinall has long wanted to take on Jones. 'Bones', on the other hand, has shown less desire to fight the Brit and has instead expressed interest in taking on UFC light heavyweight kingpin Alex Pereira instead.

White recently announced the fights for UFC 314 and UFC 315 on Instagram. During the live-stream, a fan stated that Jones vs. Aspinall would never come to fruition, to which the 55-year-old replied:

"Yes you will. It's coming. Relax."

Dana White comments on Ilia Topuria's future

While delivering fight news earlier this week, Dana White told fans that Ilia Topuria will vacate the UFC featherweight belt and move up to lightweight. As such, former champion Alexander Volkanovski will lock horns with surging contender Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title at UFC 314.

Discussing 'El Matador's' next move, White said:

"Topuria has felt like he's done all that he can in that division and he feels like he's cemented his legacy and his body cannot make the weight anymore. So, Topuria will be moving up to 155 pounds and will be vacating the featherweight title."

Check out Dana White's comments below:

Topuria has made it clear that he's eager to face lightweight champion and pound-for-pound king Islam Makhachev, with some reports claiming that matchup is being targeted for International Fight Week. It remains to be seen whether he'll directly take on Makhachev upon his move up to lightweight or a top-ranked 155-pounder next.
