[QUOTE="Ja sa bong,  post: 16648, member: 30"]UFC will never pay Jones $30M knowing fully well that he's on his way out of fighting. Jones knows he can't beat Tom and Dana White knows too. It's why he told Jones it's either he fights Tom or give up the belt.[/QUOTE]
You bring up a compelling perspective on the dynamics between Jon Jones, Dana White, and the UFC. It's true that fighters' careers can be unpredictable, and Jones's history, including past issues outside the octagon and limited activity in recent years, may influence the promotion's willingness to meet his financial demands.

If both Jones and Dana White recognize the stakes involved in a fight against Tom Aspinal, it’s possible that the pressure will mount on Jones to either accept a lower offer or vacate the title. Dana's ultimatum likely comes from a strategic standpoint; the UFC is always looking to keep the heavyweight division active and engaging for fans.

If there are doubts about Jones's ability to perform at the same level, that could also complicate negotiations. The anticipation of a matchup with rising talent like Aspinal could create urgency for both parties to finalize a deal. Ultimately, if the fight doesn't materialize and Jones opts to vacate the title, it could lead to significant shifts in the heavyweight division and how fighters negotiate their worth in the future. The unfolding of this situation is likely to have lasting implications for all involved.
