UFC legend Jon Jones was reportedly offered a record-breaking payday to face Tom Aspinall in a long-rumoured heavyweight unification bout, only to walk away from the fight.

There has been speculation recently that UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall could fight former champ Jon Jones at the White House on July 4, 2026.

UFC CEO Dana White may have set the odds for Jon Jones participating in the proposed July 4 card at the White House at "a billion to one," during the UFC 319 post-fight press conference, but the former light heavyweight and heavyweight champion sees White's statement as a door not entirely shut.
