UFC boss, Dana White has given another important update on the potential heavyweight title Unification Fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall.
Fans continue to call for the heavyweight Unification Fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall to be announced, where it is one of the biggest fights that the UFC can do at the moment.
After Jones successful title defense against Stipe Miocic last November, he hinted with a potential pension, instead of uniting the title against interim champion, Aspinall.
Nevertheless, Dana White continued to try to negotiate that fight with 'bones' and was 100% sure that the fight could be done, even though the negotiations were recently.

White reveals why there has been no official announcement of Jones vs Aspinall
Aspinall recently went to his YouTube channel to explain to the fans that if the fight does not happen, this is due to Jones in negotiations.
However, White recently gave an update on the future of Jones in the UFC, which states that he believes that the heavyweight champion will return in the summer.
And with that, on UFC 313 this Saturday after Magomed Ankalaev Alex Pereira had dethroned, White gave a further update about the potential fight between Jones and Aspinall, which explained why it was not yet officially announced.
“Well, I think, Listen, Jon Jones absolutely wants to fight when and where is what we are working on now. I am fully confident that fighting takes place (in the summer), ”White revealed at the UFC 313 Post-Fight Press Conference.
The promotion will organize their 13th annual International Vechtweek in June with the monumental week with the head of UFC 317, whereby the UFC may have focused on the enormous heavyweight fight on that date.
Alex Pereira lacks the chance to fight Jones vs Aspinall winner
White openly stated that he believes that Jones vs Aspinall is one of the largest, if not the biggest fight to make in sport at the moment.
However, there was possibly another huge fight for the winner of the Unification Bout, while Pereira continued to indicate a potential move to heavyweight.
Prior to his UFC 313 title defense, White revealed that Pereira could have been fought against the winner if he was able to pass Ankalaev, but unfortunately the light heavyweight title of the Brazilian came to an end.
If Pereira can recover his title in a rematch against Ankalaev, there is no doubt that he and White will reconsider his move to heavyweight.
