No one expects Stipe Miocic to hang around after his anticipated Jon Jones clash and that includes UFC CEO Dana White. White is so confident that Miocic will retire after the previously planned Heavyweight title fight fell through that it's a guarantee in his mind. Therefore, whether or not Miocic can make history and become a three-time undisputed champion or not against Jones (likely in November 2024), the interim champion, Tom Aspinall, will have his hands full with more complications.

Dana White: Stipe Miocic ‘100 percent’ retiring with Jon Jones fight, Jones avoiding Tom Aspinall ‘challenge’ would be ‘shocking’

Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) Heavyweight division has everyone and their grandmother losing their minds. UFC 304 was another successful night at the office for the promotion’s lone interim titleholder, Tom Aspinall, who defended his title with a 60-second technical knockout of Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event (watch highlights). The victory gave Aspinall more title defenses at Heavyweight than the undisputed champion, Jon Jones, who hasn’t fought since he won the belt in a vacant title bout against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023 (watch highlights).

Dana White: Tom Aspinall ‘doesn’t deserve anything,’ Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic ‘deserve to fight each other’

Dana White predicts that UFC 306 could break the previous gate records, as it is one of the most hyped events in UFC.

Now that UFC 306, also known as UFC Noche, is set to take place on Mexican Independence Day, there’s a chance White’s prediction might come true. Let’s review the past gate records and see if this event could break them.

Dana White is not concerning himself with Conor McGregor. It’s been more than three years since McGregor stepped inside the Octagon, the last time coming at UFC 264 when he suffered a broken leg in the opening round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier. ‘Mystic Mac’ was set for a long-awaited return to action in June, headlining UFC 303 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, his scrap with former Bellator champ Michael Chandler never came to fruition after the Irish megastar broke his pinky toe in the weeks leading up to fight night.
