UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is reportedly seeking a $30 million purse for a potential title defense against interim champion Tom Aspinall.
According to UFC color analyst and podcast host Joe Rogan, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is rumored to have set an asking price of $30 million for his potential title defense against interim champ Tom Aspinall . The $30 million asking price is believable and reasonable. Jones is, by all admissions, the greatest fighter in UFC history. He just successfully defended his title against Stipe Miocic, the man previously viewed as the greatest heavyweight in UFC history.
Fans have been clamoring for Jones to fight Aspinall, which proves there is a ton of demand for the fight. UFC President Dana White has guaranteed the fight will be made and has shown a commitment to paying Jones the “F-you” money he mentioned shortly after the win over Miocic. There is every reason to believe Jones will get the money he’s seeking for what is shaping up to be the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history. There is no date or timetable set for the fight, but you’d expect to see Jones vs. Aspinall headlining a pay-per-view show in the second or third quarter of 2025. If it takes place in the latter part of the second quarter or early third, Jones vs. Aspinall as the main event for International Fight Week in Las Vegas makes a ton of sense. In September 2024, it’s possible the location could shift to Riyadh. If that happens, the event would be historic for multiple reasons. The Jones-Aspinall matchup already has its own special build, but it would also mark the first UFC pay-per-view show in Saudi Arabia
