UFC President Dana White dropped Major News on Saturday night that changes the appearance of the heavyweight class.

Jon Jones retired and made Tom Aspinall UFC’s undisputed heavyweight champion, White announced from Azerbaijan on Saturday.

“Jon Jones called us and retired last night. Jon Jones was officially retired,” White said at a press conference. “Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC.”

Jones did not agree to a battle with Aspinall this year, and White said earlier this week that UFC was ready to go on if nothing could be agreed.

“I don’t know, we’ll see how this thing is playing out over the next few weeks,” White told Radio Host Jim Rome. “If we can’t do this battle, we’re going on quickly. I said for a few weeks. We will have answers in the next few weeks. ‘

Aspinall, who plagued Jones in the fall for not facing him, was called out by Jones in November after beating Stipe Miocic in Madison Square Garden.

“He’s annoying to me and it’s my own person – he annoys me,” Jones said. “I come to you, you find it entertaining, but I find him annoying and just don’t like him and at the end of the day, if I give him the opportunity to fight me, I want to be so compensated – I want it to say, I want ‘f – k you’ money, honestly. That’s just what it is. ‘

“I want to be compensated to the point where if I won or lost, that it really wouldn’t matter,” Jones added.

If Jones, 37, is indeed fully done, his record in UFC will stand at 28-1-0 (1 AD).
