As the dust settles at UFC 304, Jon Jones took to social media to send a cryptic message to Tom Aspinall.
Aspinall has been publicly pursuing Jones for the past year to no resolve. The Brit may be in the strongest position that he’s ever been in to get his dream fight, and his recent performance has caught the attention of the heavyweight king.
Moments after securing a first round knockout against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304, Tom Aspinall took his opportunity to call out Jon Jones.
“Who wants to see Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones?” Aspinall said during his octagon interview. “I have nothing against you personally, but I just think I’m better than you.”
“I just know that I can beat you in a fight, so, I’m coming for it.”
Aspinall’s dominant run in the division has added immense value to a potential super-fight to unify the undisputed and interim titles. While Jones still has his sights set on a fight with Stipe Miocic, his latest cryptic post on X may confirm that he’s beginning to take an interest in the matchup.
Supply and demand at its finest, I love it.

While neither Jones nor Stipe have anything left to prove, Dana White believes that a matchup between either of the legends and rising star Tom Aspinall would be huge for the division.
All eyes are now set on the heavyweight title clash which is rumored for November at Madison Square Garden.
If retirement isn’t on the cards, fans could get their wishes. Dana White confirmed during the pre-fight press conference that Tom Aspinall collide with the winner of Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic, likely some time next year.
