Dana White Accused of “Letting [Jon] Jones Keep the Title” as UFC CEO Confirming Stipe Miocic Fight Has Fans Up in Arms

Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are unarguably two of the biggest names in the UFC. Both fighters were scheduled to meet at UFC 295. However, the much-awaited clash did not happen after ‘Bones’ suffered a torn pectoral muscle. Tom Aspinall then stepped in and became the interim heavyweight champion, beating Sergei Pavlovich. 

With ‘Bones’ on the road to recovery and Dana White‘s recent announcement, it seems the match is on the cards again. While many are eagerly waiting for the fight, few of the fans looked upset by the decision. Let us find out what the fans say about this historic match. 

Should Jon Jones face Tom Aspinall or Stipe Miocic? 

Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich faced each other in the co-main event of UFC 295. Aspinall took the fight on short notice and won the battle in the first round. The Brit’s impressive performance raised questions regarding whether he should face Jon ‘ Bones’ Jones for the heavyweight title on his return. However, UFC CEO Dana White clearly stated that Jones will fight Miocic next. 

Both Jones and Miocic were desperate to face each other at UFC 295. Miocic, who is considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight MMA fighter, is at the end of his career. His potential fight with Jones might be his last fight. However, with the emergence of Aspinall, many feel he should be the first-choice opponent for the heavyweight title. Fans on Twitter (X) also looked surprised by the rematch and shared their opinions.
