Tom Aspinall calls for title fight with stipe Miocic amid Jon Jones’ absence: ‘Me and him are next I reckon’

Minting himself as the interim heavyweight champion earlier this month at UFC 295, Tom Aspinall has called for a title fight showdown with veteran former two-time titleholder, Stipe Miocic, amid the continued absence from the Octagon of fellow gold holder, Jon Jones through injury.

Aspinall, who co-headlined UFC 295 earlier this month at Madison Square Garden, turned in a blistering opening round KO win over surging Russian contender, Sergei Pavlovich in the pair’s interim heavyweight title fight, winning the interim heavyweight title in his first championship bout since landing in the Dana White-led promotion back in 2020.
