Tom Aspinall is getting closer to realizing one of the biggest dreams of his MMA career: facing Jon Jones , who holds the undisputed heavyweight title (up to 120,2kg). In an interview with the Piers Uncensored program, the Briton revealed a conversation he had with Dana White after UFC 309.
“He walked into the room and said, 'It's going to happen,' and it's going to be the biggest fight in UFC history,” Aspinall said.

In 2023, he won the interim heavyweight belt after a devastating knockout against Sergey Spivac, to consolidate his name as one of the biggest talents in the category.
