Jon Jones had some choice words in response to a Tom Aspinall interview, to say the least. Aspinall recorded a cheeky interview with SPORTbible, in which he couldn’t help but take a jab at Jones when the question of who is “the champion of fight dodging?” was lobbed up for him. The two have been involved in a heated public rivalry for the better part of the last year, with Aspinall (the UFC’s interim heavyweight champion) accusing Jones of avoiding a fight with him and instead choosing to defend his heavyweight title against the comparatively inactive Stipe Miocic.

Ilia Topuria doesn’t think it’s a good idea for Alexander Volkanovski to offer his services as the backup fighter for the UFC 308 main event. After Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) claimed the featherweight title with a second-round knockout at UFC 298 in February, Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) has made it clear he’s coming to get the belt back in any way he can. He’s taken some time off from competition after being stopped by Topuria and Islam Makhachev just four months prior.

Francis Ngannou and UFC CEO Dana White played the blame game over the past week as they disagreed about why a fight between Ngannou and Jon Jones never happened. White claimed it was Ngannou who prevented the matchup from taking place, while the former UFC heavyweight champion stated that the promotion told him it was Jones who didn’t want the fight when Ngannou was attempting to negotiate a new deal to stay with the organization. In the end, the two sides never came to an agreement, and now Ngannou is preparing for his PFL debut in October against Renan Ferreira, while Jones is expected to fight Stipe Miocic on Nov. 16 at UFC 309.
