In a recent press conference following UFC 309, Jon Jones discussed the possibility of facing Tom Aspinall in the Octagon. The event took place at Madison Square Garden, where Jones defended his UFC Heavyweight Championship against Stipe Miocic with a technical knockout.

After Miocic’s retirement, Jones shifted his focus to his next opponent, hinting at a potential super-fight with Aspinall, the Interim Heavyweight Champion. Jones stressed the importance of consulting with UFC President Dana White before making any decisions.

While Jones initially had reservations about facing Aspinall, his stance seems to have changed after his victory over Miocic. During the post-fight press conference, Jones laid out his conditions for the potential match, stating that he would retire if his demands were not met. He emphasized the need to be fairly compensated for the fight, even if it meant walking away from the heavyweight belt.

Jones made it clear that he wants to be compensated to a level where the outcome of the fight wouldn’t impact his life significantly. He stated, “I want to be compensated to the point where, if I won or lost, it really wouldn’t matter. Or else, my life is perfect without him. I don’t need him at all. But he needs me.”

Negotiations are underway, and the possibility of Jones facing Aspinall in the Octagon is generating excitement among UFC fans. Keep an eye out for updates on this potential blockbuster matchup.
