After Jon Jones successfully defended his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, Tom Aspinall claimed he’d had talks backstage with Dana White about fighting him next, and now he’s revealed what was actually said.

“Actually, right after that press conference, I had a meeting with Dana,” Aspinall said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “So, in all honesty, I was expecting to come and maybe we negotiate a little bit. He literally walks into the room and said, ‘It’s happening.’ I said, ‘Well, he’s going to want loads of money.’ He said, ‘I know, but it’s happening.’ And he said, ‘It’s going to be the biggest fight in UFC history.’”

Despite White’s confidence at the time that the fight would happen, now that the dust has settled Aspinall isn’t so sure.

“I don’t know,” Aspinall said. “In all honesty, Jon Jones is like… nobody knows what he’s doing, even the UFC. I don’t know. … I would imagine so. I would imagine so. I can’t speak for Dana.”

As for himself, Aspinall made it clear that the financial side of the deal won’t be an issue for him.

“No, no. I don’t really care about money at this point. Obviously, I’ve got a family. I want to make as much money as I can. But to me, what’s more important is unifying belts.”
