A UFC veteran reveals Jon Jones has yet to be contacted for a potential fight against interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall.

Jones is requesting six months once the bout is officially confirmed which hinders the opportunity for these two to face-off at UFC 317.

In contrast, Jones’s two-time UFC rival Daniel Cormier scoffed at the idea of Jones wanting six months to prepare for Aspinall, suggesting that the heavyweight champion is using the request as a negotiation tactic. Jones and Cormier had arguably the most heated rivalry in UFC history, making Cormier’s assertion compelling.
