Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall is one of the most expected matchups in the UFC history, and it distributes not only the fan base, but also fighters about who they think will win.
Since Tom Aspinall Sergei Pavlovich defeated the UFC -Interim heavyweight champion, fans have called for the title Unification Fight against Jones.
Although it seemed as if the fight would not happen after the defending defense of Jones against Stipe Miocic, the chance of fighting has increased in recent months, after Dana White had given a promising update.
With Jones who is now involved in another Combat Sports Venture, it's just a waiting game to find out if the legend will fight again and when.

Paddy Pimblett Backing Jon Jones to beat Tom Aspinall
Because it is one of the most expected battles of the year, the fan base is almost completely divided on who they think the potential collision will win.
Although 'Bones' is now 37 years old, he is still generally considered the greatest hunter of all time because of his constant dominance in sport.
Due to the youth and the unique style of Aspinall for a heavyweight, many people like him to deduct Jones.
One hunter, who does not support his countryman, is Paddy Pimblett. Although Aspinall and Pimblett both represent the UK, 'The Baddy' '' Bones' supports to continue his legendary run in the sport.
“I will be honest, Tom is a friend, I love Tom, he is one of the coolest guys in MMA and although Jones continues (in his career), I just can't choose Jon Jones,” Pimblett said on the entire podcast.
“I have been watching Jon Jones since 2010, I can remember that he was looked at when he was disqualified against Matt Hamill, live. He has the right lifespan, and the only thing I think Jon Jones has the best in the world, fights IQ. He does game plans to beat people, and he does not fight in the same way.
“As much as I love Tom and I want Tom to win, I couldn't choose against Jon Jones, it's just something I couldn't do,” he went on.
When can Jones vs Tom Aspinall happen?
Aspinall was originally focused on International Fight Week and UFC 317 at the end of June for his unification against Jones, it seems that it could now be too early.
Especially since Jones claimed that he needs six months to prepare for the fight, which means that it might only happen towards the end of 2025.
