That is the perfect situation with White describing the potential matchup because the “largest heavyweight battle in UFC historical past”.
Jones, 37, is a former light-heavyweight champion and broadly thought of considered one of, if not one of the best, MMA fighter of all time.
He has an total file of 28 wins, one loss and one no-contest, and holds the file for many title battle wins within the UFC, with 16.
Aspinall, in the meantime, has completed all eight of his fights within the UFC and holds a number of records, together with the shortest battle time common within the promotion’s historical past, at two minutes and two seconds.
The UFC are attempting to make the battle occur with New York in November and Las Vegas in December being the probably choices for the occasion to happen.
Aspinall needs the bout, however the sticking level is Jones.
Jones has been non-committal, suggesting he’s retired, saying preventing Aspinall does “nothing for his legacy”, and as an alternative calling out former champion Francis Ngannou.
Because the months tick by with no answer between the UFC, Jones and Aspinall, hopes of the bout going down are dwindling.
