Interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall has claimed UFC CEO, Dana White confirmed to him a title unification fight between himself and Jon Jones is on deck to happen next year — with the promotional brass claiming the matchup will be the “biggest fight” in the history of the organization.
Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champion, most recently took on two-time foe, Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 back in July, avenging his sole promotional defeat in the form of a blistering opening round knockout win.
As for Jones, the former two-time light heavyweight champion, made the first defense of his heavyweight crown at UFC 309 last month, taking out former two-time heavyweight titleholder, Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden with a spinning back-kick knockout win in the third round.
