UFC CEO Dana White recently assured fans that the heavyweight division is about to heat up, teasing the much-anticipated showdown between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. “It’s coming. Relax,” White promised. However, patience is wearing thin. Fans are growing restless, demanding that Jones either defend his title against Aspinall or vacate the belt altogether. Jones’s latest post was flooded with fiery comments, with many urging the champion to “fight like a man” and stop delaying the inevitable.

Fairly recently, the heavyweight champion of the world, Jon Jones had an amazing moment with seven times Mr. Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Arnold Sports Festival. ‘Bones’ took to his Instagram handle to upload several photos with the bodybuilding legend and captioned it with, “Couldn’t have had a better time in Columbus.“Hasta la vista, baby.” It appears that this statement by the champ has irked the fans who have been calling him out to clash against Aspinall.

Well, last year, Jon Jones did brush his shoulders against Tom Aspinall at the Arnold Sports Festival in Birmingham. According to Aspinall, he wanted a face-off for the fans but ‘Bones’ was smart enough to politely decline it. A year after the initial meetup, it appears that the hotshots of the heavyweight division will finally stand against each other as the UFC CEO has promised the fight.

UFC insider, Michael Bisping also believes that the clash will happen sooner than expected, “What’s going on with that one? We’ve got to get an announcement on Tom versus Jones pretty soon. I would say if they’re going to fight on International Fight Week or something like that, they’ve got to announce it. They’ve got to start the training camps, and the fact that they haven’t is giving me cause for concern.”

Despite the hubbub, the fans are quite impatient about the fight announcement as they took to Jones’s Instagram handle to call him out for ducking Tom Aspinall.

Will the outcry from fans force Jon Jones’ hand?

Jon Jones could have supposed retired after his last clash against Stipe Miocic. However, the champion recently emphasized that he plans to fight a few more times before retiring, leaving a significant gap within the heavyweight division. The fate of Tom Aspinall now hinges on a potential showdown with Jones. The champion is reportedly demanding a hefty $30 million fee for his bout against the Brit, and the UFC is actively working to make it happen. Looking at this a fan wrote, “Fight Tom Aspinall already.” Furthermore, another fan echoed the same tune, “Fight tom lil man.“

BKFC sensation Mike Perry had some motivational words for the champion, “Legendary champ.” Dana White has promised that the UFC community will witness the fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. However, the negotiations have yet to reach a conclusion. Amid the chaos, the community has been growing impatient, “Jone Bones vs Tom Aspinall pls.” Meanwhile, a social media was just excite to see the duo of Arnold and Jones – “Sheesh name a better duo ..I’ll wait.”

Lastly, a fan pointed out that both fighters share the same nickname. However, this is incorrect, as Jones is famously known as “Bones’ – “They Share A Nickname: The Terminator”
