Tom Aspinall has recently shared some exciting news about a potential fight with Jon Jones, revealing what UFC President Dana White told him. Aspinall, the current UFC interim heavyweight champion from Salford, has been eager to face Jones to unify the division for quite some time.
Jones, the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, recently defended his title against Stipe Miocic. Aspinall mentioned in an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored that after a meeting with Dana White, the UFC chief assured him that the fight with Jones would happen.
According to Aspinall, White confidently stated, “It’s happening. It’s going to be the biggest fight in UFC history.” Despite uncertainties about Jones’ decision, Aspinall remains optimistic about the matchup.
When asked about the financial aspect of the fight, Aspinall expressed his focus on unifying the belts rather than monetary gain. He acknowledged Jones’ elite skills but raised concerns about his past drug test failures, which, in his opinion, disqualify him from being considered the best UFC fighter of all time.
Aspinall’s determination to face Jones showcases his commitment to achieving greatness in the sport. The potential matchup between these two talented fighters has generated significant excitement among UFC fans and the MMA community.
