UFC CEO, Dana White has again reiterated that the victor of this weekend’s headliner between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic should unify the divisional crown against current interim gold holder, Tom Aspinall next, first and foremost.
Headlining this weekend’s pay-per-view card in New York, home town favorite, Jones looks to rack up his first attempted defense of the heavyweight crown, welcoming former titleholder, Miocic back to the Octagon.
Sidelined since March of last year, Rochester native, Jones most recently took on former interim champion, Ciryl Gane, stopping the Frenchman to land the vacant heavyweight championship with a first round guillotine choke submission win.
