Dana White expects Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic to go down this summer.
The two Octagon icons were originally scheduled to headline UFC 296 in December, but ‘Bones’ was forced out of the bout after tearing his pectoral muscle in the weeks leading up to their heavyweight title tilt. The promotion quickly booked an interim fight between Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich, with the Brit capturing gold via a stunning 69-second knockout.
Instead of moving on to fight Jones — who reigns as the undisputed heavyweight champion — Aspinall will sit on the sidelines waiting for ‘Bones’ and Miocic to settle their business first.
