What in the world is the UFC doing with the Jon Jones-Tom Aspinall fiasco?

Not to get all nostalgic, but Tom Aspinall won the interim heavyweight title on November 11, 2023. That’s 558 days ago, as of Thursday. The newborns that came into the world that day are now waddling around and speaking in full sentences, saying things like “more milk” and “s*** or get off the pot, Jon Jones.”

In less than 17 years, they will be eligible to vote. You wonder if Jones will still be the UFC’s heavyweight champion by then.

It's not that Jones is on the lam. He’s not dodging authorities (well, not exactly). He’s in Thailand living his “best life,” all while letting us know his identity outside of fighting is fully intact.
