Jon Jones’ Demands for a Fight Against Tom Aspinall
Jon Jones, widely regarded as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, is reportedly seeking a substantial payday for a potential fight against Tom Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion. According to Joe Rogan, Jones is rumored to be demanding $30 million for the bout.

Jones has been vocal about his disinterest in fighting Aspinall, citing the English fighter’s perceived disrespect towards him. However, he has also hinted that he would be willing to negotiate if the price is right.
A Record-Breaking Payday
If Jones’ demands are met, it would be the highest amount ever paid to a UFC fighter. Only Conor McGregor has come close to earning such a substantial sum, reportedly gaining over $30 million from his fight against Donald Cerrone. However, the UFC’s payment structures and figures are not always transparent, making it difficult to confirm such reports.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the UFC will meet Jones’ demands and make the highly anticipated fight against Aspinall a reality.
