When? Where? How? Questions about the UFC heavyweight (up to 120,2kg) title unification fight are exhausting MMA fans. Not only the fans, but also the members of the organization themselves.

Robert whittaker spoke out this Wednesday (21) about the delay in the collision between Jon Jones e Tom aspinall. For the former welterweight champion (up to 77kg), the time has come to put an end to this story. The expectation has been dragging on since July 2023, when the British fighter took the interim belt in the division.

“Honestly, who cares now? Enough. Enough waiting. It’s like, ‘Elder Scrolls 6′, it's like, you gotta play something else, man. Enough and, honestly, everybody bugging him and poking him and trying to get cuts and stuff is worse for me. It's much worse for me, enough of that too. Enough,” Whittaker said in his Espaitec's.

The Australian even said that Jon Jones 'is joking' and opened up about his expectations. Robert would like Aspinall and the Frenchman Cyryl Gane resolve their particularities.

“I’m looking forward to seeing Gane. I’m curious to see how this fight will play out. Will it turn into a kickboxing match or will Aspinall get a takedown and take Gane to a very uncomfortable place? Because Aspinall’s ground game is very good,” said the former champion.
