Tom Aspinall claims UFC has come to terms with Jon Jones for their title unifier and the next step is finding a date and venue.

Magomed Ankalaev's championship-clinching decision win against Alex Pereira Saturday night at UFC 313 may have ended all hope of a potential superfight.

In contrast, Jones’s two-time UFC rival Daniel Cormier scoffed at the idea of Jones wanting six months to prepare for Aspinall, suggesting that the heavyweight champion is using the request as a negotiation tactic. Jones and Cormier had arguably the most heated rivalry in UFC history, making Cormier’s assertion compelling.
