As the reigning champion, he is widely speculated to be preparing for a fight against Tom Aspinall. Interestingly, the British fighter has long sought this matchup.
Although Jones initially dismissed the idea of fighting Aspinall, he has recently changed his stance. The UFC heavyweight champ is now open to the possibility of facing the British fighter. However, it would be possible only if he received a substantial payout. With this in mind, UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen has shared his insights on the potential fight between Jones and Aspinall.
If Jones is to get over on Aspinall, he is very unlikely to fight again. The amount of money he will make for that night of participation, it’s hard to get anybody to fight again.
