Jon Jones Seeks Fight Against Tom Aspinall

After defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, Jon Jones expressed a strong desire for substantial compensation, referred to as 'f*ck you money', to consider a fight against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Jones, who finds Aspinall 'annoying' and has little personal interest in facing him, emphasized his preference for a superfight against UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira instead. UFC CEO Dana White indicated that a title unification bout with Aspinall would be the logical next step, but Jones remains adamant that he does not feel obligated to fight Aspinall. He stated that if he must fight Aspinall, it would have to come with a 'very, very high number' that would make the risk worthwhile. Jones reiterated that he doesn't need Aspinall, but rather the opposite is true in terms of negotiations. His comments suggest a potential standoff as he seeks to leverage his position after a successful title defense.
