Tom Aspinall Eyes Wembley Showdown with Jon Jones After KO Win

Third Brit to Win a Belt in UFC

Tom Aspinall, the Wigan warrior, made headlines at UFC 295 with his stunning knockout victory over Sergei Pavlovich. The 30-year-old claimed the interim heavyweight title in just 69 seconds, delivering a powerful counter right hand and finishing with brutal hammer fists on the fallen Russian.

Aspinall's Ambition: Facing Jon Jones

Aspinall now has his sights set on facing Jon Jones, the undisputed champion, in what could be the UFC's first-ever UK stadium show. With dreams of fighting in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, Aspinall is eager to prove himself against the greatest fighter of all time.

Convincing Jones to Stick Around

Despite Jones' plans to retire after a showdown with Stipe Miocic next summer, Aspinall believes his impressive victory over Pavlovich will make the Hall of Famer reconsider. Aspinall states that anyone hit square in the face by him will go to sleep, and he is confident in his ability to defeat Jones.

A Wild Two Weeks

Aspinall's journey to his title win was filled with obstacles, including a back injury just days after accepting the short-notice fight. Despite these challenges, Aspinall persevered and achieved his dream. He hopes that Jones will give him the opportunity to prove himself in the ring.
