Dana White believes Tom Aspinall should be next for Jon Jones after Miocic: ‘That fight just has to happen’

Dana White believes Tom Aspinall should be next for Jon Jones after the Stipe Miocic fight.

If you ask a majority of UFC fights, few of them are likely to show interest in the impending clash between Jones and Miocic. Many of them would much rather see Jones, the undisputed heavyweight world champion, unify his title with Aspinall’s interim belt. Unfortunately, that’s just not the world we live in.

After lobbying hard for a fight with Jones, Aspinall has seemingly moved on, opting to become the first fighter to defend an interim belt in more than a decade when he steps inside the Octagon with Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in Manchester.
