Jon Jones offered a smug reaction in the face of thousands of fans signing a petition to have him removed as UFC heavyweight champion. 'Bones' has held the title for over 800 days, slowly but surely approaching Cain Velasquez's 896-day heavyweight title reign record.

Jon Jones has dismissed Tom Aspinall ’s frustrations over the wait for a fight between them, telling the Briton to “shut up and do what you’re told”. In one of the most controversial UFC sagas in recent memory, Jones and Aspinall continue to hold a heavyweight title each, without having a unification bout booked.
