UFC Sets Deadline for Jones-Aspinall Title Talks

UFC CEO Dana White has set a loose deadline for finalizing a heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, stating that the UFC will move on quickly if an agreement is not reached within the next couple of weeks. Negotiations have stalled, with White denying that Jones is afraid to fight and Aspinall suggesting Jones might be retired, while Jones remains ambiguous about his intentions. The ongoing uncertainty has caused frustration among fans and fighters, leading to calls for Jones to either defend his belt or vacate it. White has indicated that if the fight is not arranged soon, the UFC will pursue other options for Aspinall and the heavyweight division. The situation is expected to be resolved shortly. No specific alternative opponents have been confirmed for Aspinall at this time.
