UFC President Dana White is getting closer to securing the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fight it appears.
“The fight is going to happen. It’s just a matter of when now, getting it signed and done. The fight will happen,” White said in an interview with TNT Sports on Friday evening.
Jones vs. Aspinall is the biggest fight the UFC can make for the UFC undisputed heavyweight title.
“It’s going to happen. It’s done but it’s not done. Not done enough to sit right here now and announce it and give you a date. But the fight is going to happen,” White added. “It’s just a matter of getting it signed now.”
Aspinall is growing tired of waiting for Jones to sign on the dotted line, telling Jones to fight him or retire recently.
“There’s no where to go for Jon,” Aspinall said. “He either has to fight me or retire now. And if he does retire, everyone knows that he will have been avoiding me. So there literally isn’t another fight for Jon at the moment. So it works out pretty good.”
