Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall: Where Things Stand, Why UFC Heavyweight Title Unification Isn't Official

  • Jon Jones remains the reigning UFC heavyweight champion while Tom Aspinall holds the interim title as of May 2025.
  • Jones's injury in 2024 prevented him from defending his belt, prompting Aspinall to defend the interim title and increasing calls for a unification fight.
  • Despite fan demand and UFC president Dana White's positive stance, Jones prioritizes other endeavors and has expressed reluctance to face Aspinall soon.
  • Jones expressed his intention to keep capitalizing on the strong brand he has built, while Aspinall has notably defended his interim championship, highlighted by a quick 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes.
  • The heavyweight unification bout remains unbooked and unlikely before October 2025, leaving the fighters and titles in limbo pending Jones's decision to sign a contract.
