Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall thinks Jon Jones had a significant rooting interest in his UFC 304 co-main event bout.
Aspinall made quick work of Curtis Blaydes as he successfully defended his interim belt at UFC 304. Just a minute into the first round, Aspinall swarmed Blaydes with a barrage of punches that forced the referee to stop the action.
Aspinall now awaits the winner of the expected Jones vs. Stipe Miocic fight to challenge for the lineal UFC heavyweight championship. After earning the interim belt at UFC 295, he became the first UFC fighter since 2013 to defend an interim title.
