Jon Jones – a heavy UFC champion, which is considered the greatest person who has appeared on the MMA base, has been officially announced.
Information was confirmed by UFC President Dana White at the press conference after the UFC Baku dawn on June 22. “Jon Jones called us last night and retired. Jon Jones officially retired. Tom Aspinall will be UFC's heavy champion.”
The three short sentences of Dana White officially ended all hope for the audience that UFC could organize a unified match between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. Instead, the martial artist holding the temporary title will take over Jon Jones's position.
Of course, UFC President Dana White also expressed disappointment with this situation, especially when he owns a potential name to become the next great martial artist of heavyweight like Aspinall.
“I feel sad for Tom because he takes all the time and money, but we will make up for him. Tom Aspinall is a good guy. He is wonderful after all we have experienced together.”
“He is willing to do anything, fight anywhere, anytime. Now he only cares” I will fight with anyone, he tells me who it is, I will hit him. Therefore, Aspinall was very great. He will be a great heavyweight champion in UFC. I am very excited to work with him. “
The audience will definitely regret not being able to see the greatest boxer UFC and the boxer may be the greatest in the history of heavyweight. When just a few days ago, President Dana White announced “we will know after two weeks”, but the call from Jon Jones made him announce everything so soon.
