Jones accepted Tom fight, will be announced at UFC 317 (International Fight Week)

[fries in the bag]

Jones verbally agreed with UFC in late 2024 or early 2025 that he would fight Tom.

If estimates are correct, this is at least >$25+ million cash + PPV points.
It's not the number Jones wanted, but better than zero if he retires.

The reason why Jones and Aspinall are not saying shit is:

1. Breach of contract
2. Build hype and suspense so that PPV points goes higher




Post UFC 316 Interview with Dana (June 8th 2025):



Jones is back from Thailand, Dana will have a business meeting this month before UFC 317 (June 28),
where Jones will officially sign the contract.

Jon did not sign before because he wanted to see how much more leverage he could get from hype.

But instead of making Dana strip him immediately, he gave a "word of faith" back in late 2024 / early 2025 that he would fight Tom. A good compromise, enough to delay the announcement.

-------

Now we wait for the official promo trailer when Ilia faces Oliveira on June 28.
Jones vs Aspinall ---> UFC 322 on November 2025 at MSG in NYC.

Jon's retired and he's still gay, so no this is not true

I don't think you actually listened to last night's post fight presser. Dana doesn't even know what's going on anymore. They are NOT fighting. The media knew more about what was happening with Jones than Dana did. I suggest you watch it again and actually listen this time.

 

[Trabaho]

it worked. Huge fight. Jon played you / us.

Dana says dealing with Jones is messy. But since Jones previously verbally agreed, that means he's down to do it.
Jones will officially sign the contract this month when he meets with Dana/Hunter in Vegas.

All this "backing out" and "ducking" on Twitter from Jones is just smoke and mirrors.

Jones talking about retirement makes Dana more willing to up the negotiation price,
and hate from fans generates PPV points.

Look at Jake Paul. Everyone tunes in, even haters. Only thing that matters are the PPV points.

Ok, I'll AV bet you that this fight will never ever happen, ever. Once it's not confirmed and Tom moves on, I get to choose your AV of choice. Make it for a month.
