Interim UFC heavyweight champion, British fighter Tom Aspinall has expressed his confidence that his fight with the current champion of the division, American Jon Jones will eventually happen.
I’m very confident that it’s going to happen. Obviously, a lot of things I’ve got to keep under wraps. I’ve had conversations with the higher-ups in the UFC and they are also very confident it’s going to happen. I don’t know from Jon’s side, but I know from my side and the UFC’s side it’s very likely.
