If Jon Jones is to be believed, the
UFC is well aware of how the heavyweight champion intends to
proceed with his career.

Jones recently took to social media to share how much he is
enjoying his visit to Thailand, which triggered a number of angry
responses regarding the delay in the booking of a proposed
heavyweight title unification bout against Tom Aspinall.

“Been out here in Thailand, enjoying life, stuffing my face every
day and I swear I’m losing weight somehow,” Jones wrote. “The
quality of the food here is amazing, so delicious, so clean.”

When it was suggested that Jones would be stripped of his UFC title
soon, “Bones” simply laughed it off.

“Stripped? Lol do I come across as the type of person who cares
about things like that?” he wrote.

In recent months, UFC CEO Dana White has repeatedly stated that
Jones vs. Aspinall will happen in 2025. While Aspinall and MMA fans
have grown frustrated with the wait, Jones has been largely silent
regarding negotiations for the bout. However, during his recent
social media conversation, Jones implied that the promotion already
knows how things will play out in the heavyweight division.

“Y’all barkin up the wrong tree. I told the UFC my plans a long
time ago,” Jones wrote. “I have no clue why they haven’t shared
them with you guys yet.”

After Jones defeated Stipe Miocic in the UFC 309
main event, he indicated that it would take a significant payday
for him to accept a fight against Aspinall. “Bones” has also hinted
on more than one occasion that retirement is also a possibility.
Regardless of what the future holds, the champ remains unbothered
by the anger the current heavyweight purgatory has inspired.

“This, this attitude, right here is making me a very wealthy man,”
Jones wrote in response to one profane comment on X. “This
desperation is incredibly lucrative, so thank you. Keep it
coming.”
