Tom Aspinall Fight Looks Unlikely

Despite repeated calls from interim champ Tom Aspinall, a unification bout with Jones seems off the table.
The English fighter is now considering other options, including a clash with Ciryl Gane according to TalkSPORT.

Ngannou Exit Made Room for Jones

Francis Ngannou’s departure from the UFC in early 2023 cleared the way for Jones’ return.
Dana White revealed the promotion had offered Ngannou the most lucrative heavyweight deal ever, which he turned down.

Dominant Return in Las Vegas

Jones made quick work of Gane, securing a first-round submission to claim the heavyweight crown.
It marked his comeback after a three year hiatus and his first fight in a new weight class.

Jones fought just once more, defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 with a spinning back kick.
Since then, he’s stepped away from the Octagon again.

Heavyweight Picture Still Murky

With Jones inactive and Ngannou gone, the heavyweight division remains in flux. Aspinall may fight Gane next, as fans continue to wonder what’s next for the title scene.
