At the moment it seems as if the UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones just plays the game and tries to troll the fan base.
Since his UFC 309 wins on Stipe Miocic last November, Jon Jones has been hunted by the UFC fan base to unite the title against interim champion, Tom Aspinall.
After he continues to postpone the fight, Jones was accused of 'mentally tiring' Aspinall by his former opponent, Anthony Smith.
During his time of the Achthoek, Jon Jones is currently in Thailand, where he is filming for a Russian reality TV series, in which he will be bizarre at Nate Diaz.

Jones facilitates fan fears for UFC pension after recent comments
In Thailand, Jones had a meeting with Hasbulla, which of course the UFC fan base has frustrated even further, because there is no news about his next fight.
And despite the guarantee of Dana White that Jones will fight this year, the Greatest Fighter of all time then dropped the consensus a huge hint over his UFC pension after he had told an old teammate, “I am ready” during a Facetime call that was caught on the camera.
'Bones' comments came only a few hours after he stated that he told the UFC about his plans and wondered why they have not yet made the fans aware.
But now only a few hours after he claimed that he is' ready ', the 37-year-old champion tried to alleviate Fans' fears that he is retiring with a message on his social media.
“What I feel to return to the UFC after some much needed downtime,” Jones said, replacing a video of a dog that chases other dogs from his garden.
When could Jon Jones return to compete against Tom Aspinall?
Now that Jones now swamps that he will return to the UFC despite the fact that he claims 'I am ready', there is only one date that makes sense for the title Unification Fight.
The promotion has their next four pay-per-view main events that are already planned and their September PPV event is planned as UFC Noche, also known as UFC 320, which takes place in Guadalajara.
Rumors are circulating that the PPV of October of the UFC will take place in Abu Dhabi, who is very unlikely to head.
That leaves November as the most likely next date for Jones vs Aspinall to take place, which usually takes place in Madison Square Garden and Jones the last MSG card.
