Jon Jones has become embroiled in a heated rivalry with Tom Aspinall, the interim UFC heavyweight champion, who has been calling out Jones for a title unification fight. Despite Aspinall's impressive performances and fan support, Jones remains focused on facing Stipe Miocic in November, a fight long delayed due to Jones' injury. Aspinall has accused Jones of dodging him, leading to a series of sharp exchanges on social media. UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed that Jones vs. Miocic is still on, but hinted that if Jones wins, a fight with Aspinall could follow. Daniel Cormier and Jake Paul have weighed in, with Cormier suggesting that Aspinall's trash-talk is getting to Jones, and Paul defending Jones' strategy. The MMA community remains divided on whether Jones is avoiding Aspinall or simply following a planned career trajectory.
