UFC Won't Deviate from Plans for Jon Jones
The UFC's plans for Jon Jones remain unchanged, according to Dana White, despite Tom Aspinall's impressive victory at Madison Square Garden. Aspinall claimed the interim heavyweight title with a 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich, earning him a shot at the undisputed champion. However, White insists that Jones will not be facing Aspinall in a unification bout.
Aspinall's Shot at UFC Glory
Tom Aspinall's opportunity to fight for the UFC heavyweight title came about due to Jon Jones tearing his pec just weeks before his scheduled bout with Stipe Miocic. Aspinall stepped in and claimed the interim title, but fans hoping for a clash between him and Jones will be disappointed.
Jones Begins Road to Recovery
Following his injury, Jon Jones wasted no time in starting his rehabilitation. He underwent surgery and is now undergoing physical therapy in Los Angeles. Dana White expressed his admiration for Jones' dedication to his recovery.
Aspinall's Dream Fight
Tom Aspinall has long dreamed of facing Jon Jones, and after his victory at Madison Square Garden, he pleaded with the former pound-for-pound king to give him the opportunity. Aspinall hopes to fight for his legacy and wants his dream fight against Jones to become a reality.
Jon Jones, on the other hand, seemed intrigued by the idea of postponing his retirement and fighting Aspinall after witnessing his dominant performance against Pavlovich.
