Jon Jones has hinted that a fight between him and Tom Aspinall is ready.
The UFC Heavyweight Champion has not fought anymore since he eliminated Stipe Miocic in November UFC 309.
Since then, Jon Jones has been in conversation for a unification with interim title holder, Tom Aspinall.
More than 150,000 fans frustrated by the clear hesitation of the American to put on the fight, have signed a petition in which he is called to be stripped – but that may not be necessary after his last update about the situation.
