Interim heavyweight champion, Tom Aspinall has revealed he has officially agreed to make his return to the Octagon in a title unification clash with fellow gold holder, Jon Jones, and is currently awaiting the Rochester native to follow suit — as he expects news of their pairing in the coming weeks.
Aspinall, the current interim heavyweight champion, has been sidelined since UFC 304 back in the summer in Manchester, taking on perennial contender, Curtis Blaydes in the pair’s interim title rematch.
And avenging his sole promotional loss against the heavyweight stalwart, Aspinall needed just over a minute to exact revenge in his home town, felling Blaydes with a brutal opening round knockout win in the night’s co-headliner at UFC 304.
