Is Jon Jones still the unchallenged champion?
When promoting the UFC 304 event on CNBC, Dana White made an unanticipated mistake. The heavyweight match between Curtis Blades and Tom Aspinall is really a temporary heavyweight belt duel rather than an undisputed championship, since White erred in labeling it the main event while summarizing the night’s important fights. Reactions to this breach have fans and commentators worried about Jon Jones’s whereabouts.
Given White’s aggressive nature, some question whether Jon Jones’ championship could have more serious ramifications given his current legal troubles including a criminal charge that could prevent his return to the Octagon because of the mouth. Was this just a cover-up, or could it be that Jones’ title was revoked? As long as the legal process continues and Jones’ return is uncertain, MMA will respond. It’s possible that the mistake was simply an oversight or more serious problems with the UFC’s policies regarding the heavyweight class.
As they prepare for the main event at UFC 304, the tension between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad has reached unprecedented levels.

Edwards said, “He’s defending the media, trying to talk himself into a fight and blah, blah, blah.
Additionally, the reigning champion dismissed Muhammad’s claim that a win at UFC 304 would put him on par with Georges St-Pierre. Edwards laughingly dismissed this idea, kindling the flames of controversy. Beyond the two fighters, there was great excitement about the upcoming battle. Their match is one of the most anticipated fights of the year, with Edwards hoping to defend his title for a third time and Muhammad wanting to leave a lasting impression
