Jon Jones may not be very interested in fighting Tom Aspinall, but he may have to if anything happens to Stipe Miocic leading into their expected November heavyweight title fight.
Aspinall is the interim heavyweight champion and just defended against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in Manchester, England. After knocking Blaydes out in a minute flat (watch the highlights here), UFC CEO Dana White dubbed him the clear choice to play backup for Jones vs. Miocic.
“One hundred percent, we’d be insane not to make him the backup for that fight,” White said at the UFC 304 post-fight press conference.”
Alex Pereira?
