Petition to strip UFC champion of title reaches 140k signatures

UFC Jon Jones Tom Aspinall

Jon Jones, the regular UFC heavyweight champion, is facing increasing pressure to fight interim titleholder Tom Aspinall.
A petition calling for Jones to be stripped of his undisputed title has reached almost 140,000 signatures.
Aspinall has expressed frustration over the delay and uncertainty surrounding a potential fight with Jones, saying it is impacting him mentally as he awaits a decision.
UFC chief executive Dana White is under pressure to make a definitive decision regarding Jones's heavyweight title, but negotiations are dragging on.
The UFC has announced main events through September without a Jones-Aspinall fight on the cards.
