Dana White revealed the potential timeline for Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has long sought a clash against Jon Jones. However, Jones has consistently dismissed the idea of this fight, indicating he would only consider it for a substantial payday.

Notably, UFC CEO Dana White has always been positive about this potential matchup. During the UFC 313 post-fight press conference, White even revealed the targeted timeline for the title unification clash between Jones and Aspinall.

He said:

"Well, I think that, listen, Jon Jones definitely wants to fight just when and where is what we’re working on now. I’m very confident that fight happens [in the summer]."
