Former MMA fighter and current analyst Chael Sonnen has announced that a heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall has been agreed upon and is likely to take place in November in New York.
They got a deal done with Jon Jones and Aspinall, at least verbally, the night before — this is inside information, you will not have heard this story anywhere else — they got a deal done verbally the night before Pereira vs. Ankalaev. I’m going to predict November, New York. That’s not an inside scoop, by the way.
Aspinall last fought against Curtis Blaydes in July 2024 at UFC 304. In that bout, which was stopped in the first round, Tom secured a victory by knockout. His record includes 15 wins and three losses.
Jones last entered the octagon against Stipe Miocic in November 2024 at UFC 309. That fight, which was stopped in the third round, ended in Jones' favor by technical knockout. Jon's record features 28 wins, one loss, and one no contest.
