Jones vs Aspinall UFC Fight Delayed Over Pay Demands

Jon Jones is reportedly in discussions for a highly anticipated heavyweight title unification fight against Tom Aspinall, but a definitive date and location have yet to be finalized. Jones is demanding substantial financial compensation, reportedly 'f**k you money,' which is causing delays in scheduling the bout. UFC insiders indicate that Jones wants six months to prepare for the fight, although he might agree to less time if financially incentivized. Aspinall, who boasts an impressive record with eight wins in nine UFC fights, is eager to secure the bout, with UFC CEO Dana White aiming for a summer fight. Meanwhile, Brazilian fighter Jailton Almeida has proposed a Grand Prix-style event to keep the heavyweight division active while waiting for the Jones vs. Aspinall fight. Despite the delays, both fighters and UFC officials remain optimistic about the fight happening, recognizing its potential to significantly impact the heavyweight division's landscape.
