Tom Aspinall had a big win at UFC 304 against Curtis Blaydes, and now he’s got his sights set on Jon Jones. Aspinall, who currently holds the interim heavyweight title, called out Jones after his victory, stating that he believes he’s better and can beat him in a fight.
This challenge to Jones comes after UFC president Dana White mentioned that the winner of the fight between Aspinall and Blaydes would face the winner of the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Jones and Stipe Miocic. Despite the official fight between Jones and Miocic not being scheduled yet, Aspinall is eager to step up and take on Jones for the title.
Aspinall’s confidence is backed up by his impressive performance against Blaydes, where he secured a TKO victory in just one minute in the first round. This win not only allowed him to retain his interim heavyweight title but also served as redemption for his only previous loss in the UFC, which came against Blaydes in 2022.
With this momentum behind him, Aspinall is now looking forward to proving himself against one of the best in the division, Jon Jones. His determination and skill displayed in the fight against Blaydes have solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division, and now all eyes are on a potential showdown between Aspinall and Jones.
Aspinall’s callout to Jones adds an extra layer of excitement to the already intense heavyweight division, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see if this fight will come to fruition. The clash of styles between Aspinall and Jones would undoubtedly make for a thrilling matchup, and it remains to be seen if Jones will accept Aspinall’s challenge and defend his heavyweight title against the rising star.
