UFC heavyweight Jon “Bones” Jones announced his next rival. However, a large chunk of the UFC universe may be shocked to know that it isn’t Tom Aspinall like they had expected.
Aspinall set his sights on claiming the undisputed heavyweight title with a victory over Jones right after he bagged the interim heavyweight championship at UFC 295. But Jones had been overlooking his callouts for more than a year till his fight against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309.
Jones’ octagon interview with Joe Rogan at UFC 309 provided the community with some hope about the materialization of the much-awaited Jones vs. Aspinall fight. However, he also indicated that he needs proper compensation to take on Aspinall.
But a recent X update from ‘Bones’ revealed his choice to fight a social malpractice next instead of a UFC heavyweight. Jones highlighted how healthcare facilities and insurance companies often get away with overcharging their customers due to the lack of transparency in their billing system. The Rochester native advocated for the complete eradication of this malpractice.
He said:
“This next fight for me is a personal one, but it’s not just for me. It’s for every American who has ever been bullied, robbed, or deceived. My next opponent would be the American healthcare system. I’ll be joining ‘Power to the Patients’ to take on hospitals, PBMs and insurance companies that refuse to show us their prices, so that they can overcharge us while making enormous profits.”
Jones ended his speech with:
“It’s time that we all fight for real prices and transparency in healthcare. God bless America and power to the patients.”
