Is it just recency bias, or does UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall sound about right?
In his return from a devastating knee injury that put him on the shelf for a year, Aspinall looked every bit the top heavyweight contender that he was before as he made quick work of Marcin Tybura in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 224 main event in London.
At the beginning of the year, the talk was all about Jones vs. Francis Ngannou. A few months ago, Jones vs. Sergei Pavlovich was all the rage. For now, we know that Jones is set to put his title on the line against former champ Stipe Miocic on Nov. 11 at UFC 295 in New York.
