Tom Aspinall: Jon Jones ‘probably doesn’t know who I am,’ but I hope I can excite him enough to stick around

LONDON – Tom Aspinall plans on getting on Jon Jones’ radar after UFC Fight Night 224.

Aspinall (12-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) returns from a knee injury when he takes on Marcin Tybura (24-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 224 main event at The O2 in London. The event streams on ESPN+.

Heavyweight champion Jones is booked to face former champion Stipe Miocic for his first title defense at UFC 295 in November, and previously has hinted that a win could signal the end of his career. Aspinall hopes he gets his chance to fight Jones, but knows he has to put on a performance that captures his attention.
