Jon Jones has expanded his business portfolio by becoming a co-owner of the Dirty Boxing Championship. This striking fight promotion, founded by BKFC star and former UFC fighter Mike Perry, along with his managers Malki and Abe Kawa, who also represent Jones, has entered into a co-ownership agreement with the UFC heavyweight champion.

In contrast, Jones’s two-time UFC rival Daniel Cormier scoffed at the idea of Jones wanting six months to prepare for Aspinall, suggesting that the heavyweight champion is using the request as a negotiation tactic. Jones and Cormier had arguably the most heated rivalry in UFC history, making Cormier’s assertion compelling.
