Jon Jones Confirms Negotiations for 2025 Fight

Jon Jones, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, has confirmed he is in negotiations to fight again in 2025, with discussions centered around a potential bout with interim champion Tom Aspinall. Following his defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, Jones declared he would only return for a substantial financial incentive, which he describes as 'f*** you money.' Although Jones has shown interest in fighting light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, UFC President Dana White suggests that a fight with Aspinall is more likely and could be historic for the promotion. Despite previous hints at retirement, Jones's recent comments reflect a willingness to continue, subject to successful negotiations with the UFC. Meanwhile, Aspinall has confirmed he is also in talks for his next fight, heightening anticipation for this potential heavyweight clash.
