Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan B?achowicz believes an element of fear is playing into heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones’ apparent preference for his next fight.

Considerable uncertainty surrounds Jones entering 2025, with the next step in his career yet to be decided following his controversial decision to face Stipe Miocic last November instead of the division’s interim titleholder, Tom Aspinall.

And despite the belts still not being unified, “Bones” has frequently pointed to a showdown with light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira as his desired next outing instead.

While some have put that down to a marketing tactic that doesn’t truly reflect how Jones feels about facing Aspinall, one man who had his own pursuit of the Rochester native fail a number of years ago sees things differently.

During a recent interview with MMA Fighting, B?achowicz addressed the current state of the heavyweight title picture, outlining his belief that Jones is “afraid” of sharing the cage with Aspinall.

“I think (Jones) does this because Alex Pereira is now a big star in the UFC,” B?achowicz said. “Everybody knows him. He knows what he’s doing. But I believe he should fight against Aspinall, but I think he’s a little bit afraid of him.

“Because Aspinall is someone who can really stop him and beat him. I think he believes if he can fight against Pereira, he can take him down, control him, maybe something like this,” B?achowicz continued. “With Aspinall, it will be not so easy.”

B?achowicz looked to be next in line for Jones before he made the decision to vacate the light heavyweight crown in 2020 ahead of a move to heavyweight. The Polish powerhouse later captured the vacant throne at the expense of Dominick Reyes.

The veteran is now chasing a second reign, a goal that was most recently stalled by Pereira. B?achowicz welcomed the ex-middleweight champ to 205 pounds in 2023, losing a close and debated decision to “Poatan.”

The 41-year-old is now set to end his lengthy injury layoff by doing battle with the charging Carlos Ulberg at the UFC Fight Night in London this March.

What’s the deal with Playboy model Nina Marie Daniele and Jon Jones? In an interview that turned playful, UFC content creator and Playboy model Nina Marie Daniele recently joked about the rumor that she had slept with UFC legend Jon Jones. The comment, made in a light-hearted moment, has sparked quite a buzz among fans and followers.

Did Jon Jones Sleep with Playboy Model Nina Marie Daniele?

Here’s a breakdown of the conversation that took place during the interview:

Nina, known for her fun approach to interviews, posed the question with a smile: “Can you tell people that I didn’t sleep with you for an interview?”

To which Jon responded in his characteristic straight-talking style: “I’m not going to lie. I’m just not. That’s the one thing I’m not going to do here. I’m not going to lie!”

As Nina Drama laughed and said, “God damn it, Jon!” the interview quickly took a turn toward humor, with both Jon and Nina engaging in the playful banter. While Jon Jones was quick to dismiss the rumor, he also took a moment to speak genuinely about Nina and her partner’s relationship.

“No, but seriously, I really admire you guys’ relationship. I think it’s really cool. Like, the maturity and what it takes to love each other that way. And for him to show confidence like that, some of you boys out there could learn from the love that the two of you have. So, thank you. Keep up the good work, both of you.” Jones said with sincerity.

Nina Marie Daniele started her UFC career in 2022 and has gained a massive following through her unique approach to interviews, often asking fighters about hypothetical or offbeat situations that reveal their personalities outside of the octagon. Her past in the modeling world has added to her appeal, with notable milestones like being named Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 2018.

Jon Jones, on the other hand, continues to solidify his place in MMA history as one of the greatest fighters ever. Despite controversies and setbacks outside the cage, Jones remains at the top of his game, recently making a successful jump to the Heavyweight. ‘Bones’ Jones has captured the heavyweight throne after an all-time great career at heavyweight and recently defended the title. He will next look to defend his crown against the interim champion Tom Aspinall sometime in 2025.

Report: Jon Jones Demands $30 Million for Tom Aspinall Fight, Rumored to Be the Biggest Heavyweight Clash in UFC History

Jon Jones is rumored to demand $30 million to step into the octagon against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall….

Jon Jones is rumored to demand $30 million to step into the octagon against interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. The potential showdown, which UFC President Dana White has confirmed as the next step for the heavyweight division, is being touted as the “biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history.”

Jon Jones Wants $30 Million

‘Bones’ Jon Jones recently returned to action at UFC 309 to defeat Stipe Miocic via TKO to defend his heavyweight crown. The US-born athlete has stated that he does not feel obligated to fight again unless the UFC meets his financial demands.

Joe Rogan

Speaking on his podcast, UFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed the rumored figure, calling it “f*** you money.” Jones has made it clear that he would only take the fight if he feels the compensation is worth the risk, saying, “If I give [Aspinall] the opportunity to fight me, I want to be well compensated. Otherwise, my life is perfect. I don’t need him, but he needs me.” Apparently, the number Jones is asking for is a whopping $30 million according to Rogan.

UFC Heavyweight Championship

The fight has been highly anticipated since Aspinall claimed the interim heavyweight title in 2023 with a stunning first-round knockout of Sergei Pavlovich. Aspinall further solidified his position as a top contender by defending his title against Curtis Blaydes. Despite his respect for Jones’ legacy, Aspinall believes he sees “openings” in Jones’ game, though he admits, “Whether I can do it or not, I don’t know.”

Tom Aspinall

Adding to the drama, Jon Jones has publicly expressed his dislike for Aspinall, calling him an “a**hole” in interviews and during the UFC 309 post-fight press conference. The tension between the two fighters only heightens fan interest in the matchup, which is expected to unify the heavyweight titles and draw significant pay-per-view revenue.

Negotiations for the fight may be challenging given ‘Bones’ Jones’ steep asking price. The fight’s massive scale has already sparked speculation about a potential collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season events, known for hosting high-profile combat sports matches. With Dana White guaranteeing the fight for 2025, fans eagerly await what could be one of the most monumental bouts in UFC history.

The Ten-Year Anniversary of Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier 1 – Perfect Rivals

Today marks the ten-year anniversary of Jon Jones facing Daniel Cormier, two competitive rivals who still have not found peace. UFC 182 on January 3, 2015, saw Jon ‘Bones’ Jones defend his UFC light heavyweight crown by unanimous decision giving Cormier his first professional career loss.

Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier

Jon Jones was a phenom. At just 23-year-old he became the youngest UFC champion in history and defended his title against former and future division champions. Cormier was a former Olympic wrestling standout who had an unbeaten MMA career where he also earned gold in Strikeforce.

The two met years prior and the bad blood was always evident. A backstage confrontation at UFC 121 turned heated, with trash talk setting the stage for years of animosity. The feud escalated during their press tour for UFC 178 in 2014, with a brawl during a media event in Las Vegas. Security struggled to separate the fighters as punches were thrown, sparking widespread headlines.

In the octagon, Jon Jones and Cormier delivered a high-stakes battle. Jones performed well with his reach and striking, while Cormier excelled in the clinch with dirty boxing and takedown attempts. However, Jones proved superior, landing critical strikes and securing takedowns against the Olympic wrestler. After five intense rounds, Jones retained his light heavyweight title via unanimous decision.

In a rematch years later, Jones would again defeat Cormier via head kick but this fight was overturned due to a banned substance in Jones’ system. Regardless, the two have never cooled or found peace with their ongoing feud. It remains one of the best rivalries in MMA and UFC history.

After over four decades of silence, former UFC standout Matt Hamill can finally hear.

Hamill, 48, shared some heartwarming news on social media, revealing that he was able to hear his children’s voices for the first time after acquiring high-powered hearing aids that were developed with state-of-the-art technology to amplify his surrounding environment.

“I just got the most powerful digital hearing aids ever made,” Hamill wrote on Instagram. “For the first time in 41 years, I can finally hear my kids’ voices, the sounds of people walking and laughing. I finally heard my mom’s voice and she cried. I’m looking forward to hearing my brother Pat’s voice too. I only hope he doesn’t have a voice like a foghorn. This is awesome although I know it will take time to adapt to all of this. Happy New Year!”

Matt Hamill is best known for his crazy DQ win over ‘bones’ at the UFC’s TUF 10 finale

A three-time NCAA Division III national champion, Matt Hamill made his UFC debut in June 2006 and competed inside the Octagon for seven years. Along the way, he shared the cage with a slew of MMA legends like Michael Bisping, Rich Franklin, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, and Alexander Gustafsson.

Hamill’s most notable victory came via a controversial disqualification against two-division titleholder and reigning undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones.

‘Bones’ was having his way with Hamill, lighting up the Loveland, Ohio native with a slew of strikes from the mount. With less than a minute to go in the opening round, referee Steve Mazzagatti halted the action after observing Jones land multiple 12-to-6 elbows which were illegal until November 1, 2024. With Hamill unable to continue, Jones was DQ’d, handing him his first and only career loss.

With the straight up-and-down elbows now perfectly legal inside the Octagon, Jon Jones suggested that his loss against Hamill be overturned, giving him back his ‘O’ in the process. However, Hamill proposed a different way to settle things with Jones.

After exiting the UFC, Hamill fought five more times under multiple promotional banners, going 2-3 in the process. He retired in 2018 after scoring a split-decision win against Chris Birchler at Maverick MMA 6 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
