After stroking Jon Jones’ ego for more than a year, UFC CEO Dana White has seemingly backed himself and the entire heavyweight division into a corner.
In November 2023, Tom Aspinall scored a 69-second KO over Sergei Pavlovich to capture the UFC interim heavyweight title, which was introduced while ‘Bones’ was sidelined while recovering from a torn pectoral. Since then, Jones has fully healed and even competed late last year. And still, we are no closer to seeing Jones and Aspinall unify their titles than we were 19 months ago.
