The highly anticipated title unification bout between UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall remains a hot topic of discussion. Despite Aspinall holding the interim title in 2023, both Jones and the promotion opted to reschedule the champion’s fight with Stipe Miocic instead.
Following Aspinall’s successful defense of his belt in Manchester, the focus shifted to Jones vs. Miocic headlining UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden. Miocic, known for his previous heavyweight reigns, was outmatched by Jones, who secured a victory with a spinning side kick to the body in round three.
After the fight, Aspinall’s name was once again linked to Jones, although Jones seemed hesitant about the matchup in his post-fight press conference. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the fight, fans continue to speculate on who will emerge as the undisputed champion.
Following Jones’ win, betting lines favored Aspinall, who is considered a rising star in the heavyweight division with an impressive UFC record. Many believe Aspinall’s speed, power, and agility give him an edge, while others question why a GOAT contender like Jones is considered an underdog.
While the potential matchup between Jones and Aspinall remains uncertain, fans eagerly await the possibility of the two fighters facing off in the octagon.
