Despite Jon Jones quickly ending his retirement for the chance to fight on next year's proposed UFC card at the White House, UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is not holding out hope that their long-awaited fight will come to fruition.

UFC legend Jon Jones was reportedly offered a record-breaking payday to face Tom Aspinall in a long-rumoured heavyweight unification bout, only to walk away from the fight.

There has been speculation recently that UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall could fight former champ Jon Jones at the White House on July 4, 2026.
