UFC CEO Dana White has refuted claims made by former two-division champion Jon Jones that he retired back in November of last year, but he would have fought Tom Aspinall if the deal had been sealed.
Earlier, White stated that a fight between Jones and Tom Aspinall was agreed upon, but then Jones changed his mind. On June 22, the UFC head confirmed that Jones had indeed announced his retirement.

Not true. I'm telling you the truth. Believe who you want to believe.
Jones last competed in the octagon in November 2024 at UFC 309, where he defeated Stipe Miocic by technical knockout in the third round. His record boasts 28 wins and one loss, with one fight declared a no contest.
