UFC President Dana White shared his thoughts on a potential bout between reigning heavyweight champion Jon Jones and interim champion Tom Aspinall.
Dana White
Tom Aspinall-Jon Jones fight will be probably the biggest heavyweight fight we've ever done by a long shot. Jon Jones isn't afraid of anybody in the octagon or out of the octagon. This guy has a very dark side to him… He's got Stipe [Miocic] on Saturday. When it's over, [he'll] disappear. You won't hear anything from him, you won't see him again and then that competitive spirit will start bubbling and he'll say, 'I'm ready to fight Tom Aspinall'. That's how it all works with him.
Jones just fought Stipe Miocic on November 17 at UFC 309 in New York. In that match, stopped in the third round, Jones secured a technical knockout victory and defended his UFC heavyweight title. His professional record includes 28 wins, one loss, and one no contest.
Aspinall most recently competed against Curtis Blaydes in July at UFC 304, winning that fight by knockout in the first round. His record currently stands at 15 wins and three losses.
