The protagonist of great suspense in the world of MMA, Jones has indicated that he has no intention whatsoever of returning to the octagon to unify titles with the interim champion. Tom aspinall. Despite the entire scenario, the fighter avoids making any decisions about his career and ends up causing discomfort to other athletes in the division, who are 'stuck' in the face of the imposed difficulty.
Recently, on his X account, Jones stated that his plans had already been communicated to the UFC and that he did not understand why the officials had not made public what was supposedly passed on. Despite the comment, Dana White remains confident that the long-awaited meeting between his compatriot and Aspinall will take place.

“Gordon Ryan was responsible for selling exactly 6 pairs of flip-flops.”
“Every transaction at toe hold is meticulously tracked.”
“Yes, I’m sure that’s true… I’m sure that when I personally messaged Zuck to try to fix the account, it didn’t help much. I’m sure that didn’t help enough. When I had the Jon Jones wearing Th's gear in the middle of his retirement fight camp, I'm sure it didn't help matters. When I had Mario Lopez doing videos with Th flip-flops, I guess that was a no-go. When I brought thousands of purchases of rash guards to Th from friends of mine who own gyms, that didn’t count. Or when I was going to make a deal with Th in the UAE to manufacture their flip-flops? Oh no, I know. And when I got a $50 sponsorship for ADCC for nothing? I guess all that was only good enough to “sell exactly 6 pairs of flip-flops.” I also assume that posting 67 times a day didn’t help matters and that the company “magically” doubled their profits and started following the same year I started talking about them. I guess all those guys who did all that stuff just to support me didn’t count. I guess I’m not that valuable since they “meticulously track every transaction” when they can’t even meticulously track down where their damn lawyer is to finish writing my contract after a year.
