Tom Aspinall has updated fans in the current state of affairs with the UFC and Jon Jones.
Interim UFC Heavyweight title holder Tom Aspinall is willing to continue from Jon Jones as fighting discussions will not make significant progress in the coming weeks.
Since Jones defended his heavyweight championship against Stipe Miocic on UFC 309, the UFC buyer has been hard to work to try to blossom a fight between Jones and Aspinall. But the negotiations prove to be more pulled than the matchmakers probably expected, despite the teasing of Jones and Aspinall that they have made earlier progress.
An initially rumor $ 30 million salary desired by Jones was quickly closed by Dana White. In both cases, Jones and Aspinall will probably make large payouts for a heavyweight booking to unite their titles.
Aspinall is becoming increasingly impatient with the waiting game that Jones plays and admitted that he is willing to continue.

Tom Aspinall is doubling when john Jones withdraws as a fighting talk
During a recent video, it was uploaded to his YouTube channel, updated Aspinall fans in the State of the Jones Fight negotiations.
“Where we are now is that I have spoken with the UFC about this fight several times. I chase and I want the fight, “Aspinall said about the Jones Fight Talks. “I am admitted that I want the fight, have been on the phone with the UFC who said I want the fight. “When is the fight? I want it more than anyone. What it keeps up is his side, that is the truth … Does he want to place himself in a position where he is financially comfortable enough to take the risk that he takes to fight me? And that's where we are. The UFC tells me, they showed me that they are doing everything they can to fight this fight. So it is completely, as far as I know, it is completely up to Jon Jones and his team to work it out.
'Do you remember what I said a while ago? I will retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's what I said, “Ashinall went on. “Jon, let's do it! If you want to do it, you don't have to ask me twice. If not, I will fight someone else for the undisputed belt. Happy to fight everyone. Everyone, always, everywhere. It doesn't matter, I'm ready to go. “
Aspinall defended the interim heavyweight championship against Curtis Blaydes on UFC 304 in July. He won the Interim -Riem by finishing Sergei Pavlovich on UFC 295.
Jon Jones remains hesitant in signing the dotted line to face Tom Aspinall
Earlier this year, Jones teased a 'big announcement, many of whom initially believed it had to do with Aspinall. But it turned out to be a promotion campaign for a matter of health care that he was aware of.
White and the matchmakers are willing to strip Jones if the negotiations on the Aspinall fight do not make progress. That would probably lead to Aspinall being promoted to the undisputed champion, and he would face another top candidate such as Ciryl Gane.
After initially bullying on training with Alex Pereira, Jones and Pereira will probably not train together quickly, in the midst of fighting speculation. Pereira wants at least one heavyweight fight in the UFC before hanging the gloves.
At present, Aspinall vs. Jones in a holding pattern, although we could get an update of the UFC header in the coming weeks.
