The back and forth between Jones and Tom Aspinall does not show a sign of delay.
Both men have heavyweight gold in their possession, with Aspinall Sergei Pavlovich eliminating to earn interim champion status at the end of 2023.
Although that would normally have set up a unified collision between the two title holders, Jones repeatedly rejected the fighting of Aspinall and plagued pension instead.
The situation has led to widespread frustration in MMA fans and has led to frequent exchanges between the two champions.
And the latter came about when Jones Aspinall sent an insincere thanks for stimulating his British fan base and enabled him to write history with a seminar in Phuket, Thailand.
I have just packed the biggest seminar in the history of Phuket. 🇬🇧💥 Solid shoutout to my husband Tom for all free promo … couldn't have done it without you 😎
But seriously, I am more than grateful for this brand new UK …

Tom Aspinall reminds Jones that he is a good guy – and that Jones 'dives'
After many of the supporters of the interim champion announced their feelings in response, Aspinall himself appeared in the comments section.
After having questioned the hostility of Jones towards him, the Englishman jokes repeated his rival that he is a good person.
“With pleasure Jon. I told you that I am not A – – glad you enjoy pension,” wrote Aspinall on X.
And that was not the only memory that Aspinall sent.
The Brit ended the post with a duck -moji, which again refers to his conviction that Jones will 'dive' their title Unification Fight.

Tom Aspinall attended the UFC event with a duck to have fun at Jon Jones
The recent response to X was far from the first time that a duck was introduced to the Jones vs Aspinall discussion.
After having repeatedly called that Jones dives him by possibly retiring above a third fight in heavyweight, the Brit made the most opportunity to make the claim in UFC London in March.
When the broadcast was present, Aspinall Jones trolled by holding a rubber duck.
At the beginning of May Jones responded directly to the allegations of ducks after he was hunted by fans during a live stream.
“I have people in the chat who calls me a duck, meanwhile I live my absolutely best life,” Jones replied.
“I don't know if it is considered diving if you live well. I don't think it works that way,” he went on.
