Famous insider and journalist Ariel Helwani reacted to the words of UFC head Dana White that Jon Jones has agreed to fight Tom Aspinall and the only thing left to do is to wait for contracts to be signed.

The problem is he didn't tell you the whole story. He didn't tell you about the 'and then he went back on his word' part. Eventually, that part will come out. Right here on this Godforsaken show I've been telling you the story from the beginning and on Saturday he finally confirmed it. And here's a spoiler, in a couple weeks he'll confirm it even further.
Jones last stepped into the octagon against Stipe Miocic in November 2024 at UFC 309. That fight, which was stopped in the third round, ended in favor of Jon by technical knockout. Jon has 28 wins and one loss to his name, with one no contest.
Aspinall last fought against Curtis Blaydes in July 2024 at UFC 304. Tom won that fight in the first round by knockout. He has 15 wins and three losses on his record.
