In 2020, Tom Aspinall made a remarkable UFC debut by defeating Jake Collier. Building on that success, the British fighter displayed his dominance by securing five consecutive victories in the heavyweight division. He achieved impressive wins against Alan Baudot, Andrei Arlovski, Serghei Spivac, and Alexander Volkov, solidifying his position as a rising prospect.

Unfortunately, Tom’s extraordinary winning streak came to an end around a year ago when he faced Curtis Blaydes, who managed to halt his momentum. Despite this setback, Aspinall showed resilience and determination by recovering from an injury that kept him sidelined for almost a year.

Making a triumphant return to the octagon, Tom showcased his ferocity by brutally knocking out “Tybur” in a minute. This dominant performance not only demonstrated his readiness to take on top opponents but also marked his strong comeback to the heavyweight division.

“I’m gonna go to Paris, I’m gonna sit in the front row and see Cyril Gane vs. Serghei Spivak, I’m gonna beat the winner & then I’m gonna beat Jon Jones,” Tom said.

Jon Jones took to Tw-n anxiously anticipating Jones’ next fight since his triumphant victory over Cyril Gane. Dana White recently revealed ‘Bones’ would be facing Stipe Miocic in the next heavyweight title bout at UFC 295, set to take place at the prestigious Madison Square Garden.

Despite this high-profile matchup on the horizon, the former light heavyweight champion still expressed interest in the challenge presented by Tom. While the possibility of them squaring off is a topic of much debate, one thing is evident that Aspinall has demonstrated immense courage by daring to call out one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in UFC history.
