If Jon Jones successfully defends his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 and wants to continue fighting in UFC, then his next matchup will be against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.
UFC President Dana White relayed that news Thursday during an appearance on "The Jim Rome Show."
"He's not fighting Pereira," White said (h/t ESPN's Andreas Hale). "[Pereira] was a middleweight that moved up to light heavyweight. He's also a kickboxer who has done very, very well in MMA. His wrestling isn't even near the level of Jon Jones, and Jon Jones is way bigger than him.
