Read our privacy policy Jon Jones has said negotiations over his next UFC fight have begun, with the heavyweight champion already back in training after beating Stipe Miocic. Jones stopped former champion Miocic in round three this month, retaining his title and potentially setting up a clash with Tom Aspinall – who holds the interim belt. And after beating compatriot Miocic at UFC 309, the American said: “I want that ‘f*** you’ money, honestly.” Now, the former two-time light-heavyweight champion has gone into more depth on the matter. I’m grateful for it all.” Jones finished Miocic with a spinning back kick to the body Jones’s win over Miocic, 42, marked his first fight since winning the vacant title in March 2023.
