Top ranked heavyweight competition 'Malhadinho' suggests that the UFC book is booking a heavyweight Round-Robin to determine who is fighting the winner of Jones vs Aspinall.
Dana White may have stated that Jon Jones will return to action in the summer – but until a real announcement has been made, the heavyweight title photo will get stuck.
Fortunately, a top candidate has an idea of how the promotion could figure out who should be the next one for the final winner of Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall … a good old -fashioned Grand Prix.

Jailton Almeida maps UFC Heavyweight Grand Prix
Formerly this week to Social, #6 ranked heavyweight competitor Jilton Almeida suggested that the UFC is planning a short tournament to determine who will get the winner of Jones vs Aspinall.
“Let's do it as these Jones X Aspinall Fight for Belt + A GP between the contenders: Almeida X [Alexander] Volkov This fight had already been booked and I am the only one that Volkov has not yet fought, “said the Brazilian entry specialist on X.
Subsequently, Almeida Ciryl Gane vs Serghei Spivac booked because they are 'two European strikers that have never fought against each other' and between those two attacks, 'who wins the most impressive fight for belt'.
Only one of those four hunters has already booked their next fight-Serghei Spivac Die in May on a Fight Night card stands for 14-1 Prospect Shamil Gaziev.
Almeida scored a first round of TKO victory on Spivac back on UFC 311 in January; He has previously stated that he returned to the Octagon this summer.
“June will have 2 PPV cards. Sounds perfect for me !!!, “He noticed on X last week,” waiting for the call … everyone who places me in a title fight! Gane, Volkov … let's go! “

Is the UFC heavyweight division naturally 'superficial'?
In February Joe Rogan shared a great concern about the UFC Heavyweight Division, where the popular commentator claimed that the weight class had become “so superficial” in recent years.
Bloody Elbow recently overtaken the British heavyweight Ster Mick Parkin, who will compete in UFC London next weekend about Rogan's comments about the depth of his division.
“It is superficial as there are not many hunters,” explained the 10-0 prospect, with the UFC Roster Watch website that currently states 33 active heavyweights: the one from all weight classes.
'But it's also the most [entertaining division] Because you could let it enjoy that someone will win this weekend, such as 'he will definitely win' – and he can [still] Be eliminated by the other man.
“So it's hard to judge, but yes, it's superficial there, not many people … that's clear why it is, there are just not so many of us – which is also good for me, I can get there [to the top] A little faster. “
Only one division has less active hunters than heavyweight, that is the Bantamweight Division for women.
