Joe Rogan has revealed what Jon Jones is looking to earn to face Tom Aspinall and it has stunned UFC fans.

The UFC want Jones to face Aspinall to unify the heavyweight titles.

'Bones' returned to the famed Octagon when he destroyed Stipe Miocic to defend his championship at UFC 309 last November while Aspinall hasn't fought since his demolition of Curtis Blaydes to defend his interim title at UFC 304 last summer.

A blockbuster meeting between the pair of UFC heavyweight champions is in the works for 2025, with Dana White hellbent on making the match-up.

But it looks like White will have to dig into his deep pockets to pay Jones.

That's according to Rogan, who claims Jones wants a whopping $30 million to face Aspinall.

Speaking in a new episode of his podcast, he said: "I think it’s gonna be Aspinall, I think they’re trying to come to some sort of agreement. The rumour is that he wants $30 million and the UFC is going to pay it. Hopefully.

"I hope they pay it," he added.

The 37-year-old American has been involved in some monster UFC fights - notably his bouts against Daniel Cormier, but a $30 million purse will likely be the biggest payday of his legendary career.

Aspinall watched his rival's impressive performance in-person as he was sat front row at Madison Square Garden for Jones vs. Miocic.

Speaking to Piers Morgan after UFC 309, he told him about his meeting with White.

"Right after that press conference I had a meeting with Dana,” he said. "So in all honesty I was expecting to come, and we would negotiate a little bit, but he literally walked into the room and said, ‘It’s happening.’

"And I said, 'Well he’s going to want loads of money'. And he said, 'I know, but it’s happening. And it’s going to be the biggest fight in UFC history'."

When Morgan questioned if that meant Jones had agreed to the fight, the Brit replied: "In all honesty, nobody knows what Jon Jones is doing. Even the UFC."

Asked if White would pay Jones an enormous fee for the bout, he said: "I imagine so. I can’t speak for Dana but I would imagine so."
