Interim UFC heavyweight champion, British fighter Tom Aspinall, announced that next year he will face the reigning heavyweight champion, American Jon Jones.
2025, Tom Aspinall vs Jon Jones unifying the heavyweight belts. Let's remember, I ain't Stipe, completely different. And I possess a whole different attribute of skills, aggression, speed, power and everything else to Stipe Miocic. I’m coming for both belts, and 2025 is when it’s gonna happen.
