Jones criticized the introduction of the UFC interim heavyweight title

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 12, 2024, 7:14 a.m.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones has expressed his opinion that the promotion's management should not have instituted an interim belt after his injury last November.

"The interim title shouldn't have happened. The only reason for the interim title fight is because I was injured and the UFC needed to keep the Madison Square Garden tournament important." Sergey and Aspinall should not have fought for the interim title. As far as I'm concerned, the interim title came prematurely. Now we have a bunch of confused people," Jones told SportsNet.

As a reminder, Jones will defend his title against Stipe Miocic this weekend at UFC 309 in New York, USA.
