Jon Jones has announced a huge change in his career, because conversations continue to park about his potential UFC title Unification Fight against Tom Aspinall.
Since successfully defending his title against Stipe Miocic on UFC 309, Jon Jones has constantly received criticism from the UFC fan base with regard to his next move.
Since Tom Aspinall won the interim -heavyweight title on UFC 295 at the end of 2023, Jones knew that he would probably have to unite the title against the British star.
Nevertheless, the Greatest Fighter of all time of the consensus has constantly delayed that fight, with Jones recently claiming that he needs six months to prepare for the fight.

Jon Jones becomes co-owner of UFC Rival Promotion
With fighting discussions that remain standing, Aspinall apparently revealed that he is open to fight someone else instead of keeping waiting for Jones returning.
And with that fight that was not announced closer to the official announcement on Friday afternoon, it was surprisingly announced that Jones became co-owner of Mike Perry's Combat Sports Promotion, Dirty Boxing Championship.
The promotion held its inaugural event last November, behind closed doors, as a former UFC star, Yoel Romero achieved a victory in their very first main event.
Jones was present for the event and gave a shocked reaction to Romero's Ko.
Now, following the footsteps of Conor McGregor, because the Irish star became co-owner of BKFC, 'Bones' is planned to be present for their first official event this weekend DBX1.
“I was addicted to the first show. I believe that this will be a powerhouse of combat sports. I am proud to sign my name next to it,” said Jones about Dirty Boxing Championship (H/T TMZ).
Yoel Romero to Headline First Official Dirty Boxing Championship Event
The timing of the involvement of the 37-year-old is quite appropriate, because the promotion will organize their first official event on Saturday 22 March.
Yoel Romero is planned to compete against Ras Hylton in the main event, with colleague UFC legend, Andrei Arlovski who would collide with Terrance Hodges in the Co-Main event.
The Blockbuster event takes place from the Hangar in Regatta Harbor in Miami, Florida.
