Last night at UFC 309 in New York City, Jon Jones made history by defending his UFC Heavyweight title. His brutal spinning back kick against Stipe Miocic inside Madison Square Garden was a sight to behold. But after this legacy-defining win, Jones shocked the world by announcing his decision not to retire. Instead, he revealed that he will only retire if he doesn't fight Alex Pereira next.

Jones' Focus on the Pereira Fight

During the UFC 309 post-fight press conference, Jones made it clear that his main concern is the fight with Alex Pereira. He stated, "I'm not really worried about the Tom fight; I'm worried about the Pereira fight; that's what I want to do. I think if the UFC wants me back, that's the fight they'll make. I've been really clear about my intentions… I'll retire the Heavyweight belt if I have to. Give the dude what he wants at the end of the day. I feel like I'm at a place where I want to take super-fights. I don't want to fight dangerous up-and-comers anymore. I want to fight dangerous, established champions." This shows Jones' determination to take on the toughest opponents and leave a lasting mark on the UFC.

Jones' Stance on the Tom Aspinall Fight

While Jones is focused on the Pereira fight, he did tease a potential fight with Tom Aspinall. He said, "If I give him the opportunity to fight me, I want to be so compensated. I want that f—k you money, honestly, that's just what it is. Or else, my life is perfect without him. I don't need him at all, but he needs me, and that's a good place to be in a negotiation." This shows that Jones is not afraid to demand a high price for his fights and is confident in his abilities.

Jones' Demands and Negotiation Tactics

Jones has asked for 'f—k you' money before and has not always received it. During the press conference, he clarified that the price tag on 'f—k you' money is a very high number. He said, "I've learned over the years not to get into finances publicly, but I want to be compensated to the point that if I win or lose, it wouldn't really matter." This shows that Jones is a shrewd negotiator and knows how to get what he wants.

UFC CEO Dana White's Perspective

UFC CEO Dana White said he was willing to compensate Jones during the same press conference, but he didn't know that his Heavyweight champion wanted 'f—k you' money. This shows that there may be some miscommunication between the UFC and its star fighter. However, it remains to be seen whether Jones and the UFC can come to an agreement on a fight with Tom Aspinall or if it will remain just a pipe dream.For complete UFC 309 results, coverage, and highlights click HERE.
