Jon Jones seeks lucrative fight amid ongoing negotiations

In the United States, Jon Jones, the reigning heavyweight champion, has initiated negotiations for his next fight with the UFC. Recently, he successfully defended his title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, which took place in November 2024, marking his return to the octagon after his initial title win earlier in March 2023. Following his victory over Miocic, Jones expressed interest in facing Tom Aspinall, the current interim-title holder, though he was coy about the timing and details of such a matchup. Jones mentioned that while financial discussions are ongoing, he emphasized his readiness for training as he prepares for future opportunities in the ring.
