Jon Jones may or may not continue fighting beyond UFC 309 , but if he does, the reigning heavyweight champion has declared he would be willing to return for one more fight against light heavyweight king Alex Pereira over Tom Aspinall . Complicating Jones’ wish is the fact that Aspinall currently is the UFC interim heavyweight champ, a title he claimed in November 2023 with a knockout of Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 . That door was opened only because Jones suffered a pectoral injury that forced him to withdraw from his original date with Stipe Miocic
