UFC CEO Dana White is dead set on arranging a fight between heavyweight champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones and heavyweight interim champion Tom Aspinall this year, MMA Weekly reports.
It is just a matter of negotiations between both fighters.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently said on his podcast that he’s heard through the grapevine that Jones is asking for $30 million to fight Aspinall.
Former UFC dual-division champion Daniel Cormier doesn’t think Jones will be paid that much for the fight but doesn’t think what Jones has asked for is an ‘outlandish ask’.
“Now when you start looking at it like that, you start going, I don’t know if his ask is as crazy as people are saying,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
