UFC CEO Dana White is confident the biggest fight of 2025 will get done.

White peeled the curtain back Saturday night into the ongoing negotiations to book an unification match between UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and interim champ Tom Aspinall. White reiterated his belief that Jones vs. Aspinall is "the biggest fight in heavyweight history" and, when asked point blank whether he can guarantee it'll come together in 2025, issued a "100%" promise that it would.

"It's a massive fight in the history of the company," White said at UFC Tampa's post-fight press conference.

White further noted that while Jones continues to rebuff Aspinall at every turn in his public comments, the heavyweight champ's sentiments are very different behind closed doors.
