Following Tom Aspinall's interim title victory last November, reigning champion Jon Jones retained his belt in dominant fashion at UFC 309 to finally put his rivalry with fellow American Stipe Miocic to bed.

Jones, 37, has been largely dismissive of facing Aspinall next - instead targeting a bout with Alex Pereira - but has suggested he's willing to "negotiate" a deal to fight the Briton.

Aspinall, 31, is the favourite to fight Jones.

A former light-heavyweight champion who at 23 became the youngest title holder in UFC history, Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time after winning 28 of his 30 MMA bouts.

His one defeat was a disqualification against Matt Hamill in 2009, while his win over Daniel Cormier in 2017 was recorded as a no-contest after Jones subsequently failed a doping test.
