The Fighting Future of Jon Jones has been in question for a few months now, since his comeback fight against Stipe Miocic.
Last November Jon Jones returned controversially to the UFC Octagon to defend his heavyweight title against the recurring 42-year-old Stipe Miocic. 'Bones' again showed why he regards the goat and put Miocic in round three.
The reason that the fight was treated in so much controversy is that Tom Aspinall defended his interim heavyweight title earlier that year after the inactivity of Jones.
Prior to his defense against Miocic, Jones hinted that he might withdrew from MMA instead of fighting Aspinall in a union fight, which caused a stir under the fan base.

Jon Jones drops big hint with regard to his fighting future
Although the 37-year-old champion seemed undecided about withdrawing or uniting the title against Aspinall, UFC boss Dana White remained hopeful that he could negotiate with the goat.
That is although Jones apparently demanded a huge payment day to fight against the rising Brit, White still claimed that he was 100% convinced that the fight would happen.
Although he was sure that he could make the fight happen, the UFC boss claimed that he would strip Jones from the heavyweight title if he refused to fight Aspinall.
White recently gave a promising update on the fight, which states that nothing negotiations and he expects the fight to happen this year.
And with that the champion has also set a big hint with regard to his future, apparently arising from the fact that he will linger to fight Asinall.
“I will make a huge announcement in 24 hours! #Andill, ”Tweet Jones on X.
Dana White believes that a fight against Jones could change the life of Aspinall forever
The 31-year-old Brit is generally considered one of the most unique heavyweights of all time because of his incredibly slick footwork and fast hands.
Many believe that Aspinall can surpass the legacy of Jones if he continues with the speed he goes, because he already has the lowest average fighting time in the UFC.
And with that Dana believes that a fight against Jones could be 'life -changing' for Aspinall, because it would bring his name even more.
“I think that's great in a young, talented, aggressive heavyweight, that he actually wants to fight the very best. The problem in this industry is that you have boys who say many things in public, but behind the curtains, don't mean it, you know, do not really want these fights, “he explained to Talksport MMA.
“Tom Aspinall is not that guy. Tom Aspinall wants to fight the very best in the world, and I love that. With the Jon Jones fight, such a fight for a young, talented heavyweight, if he can win, if he can beat Jon Jones, it is life-changing. “
