UFC play-by-play ace Jon Anik believes a title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall will indeed happen in 2025.

After Jon Jones ’ dominant victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, speculation about his next fight runs wild. The buzz centers on a potential showdown with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Interestingly, Francis Ngannou has weighed in with a surprising perspective.

Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall could be moving a step closer to coming to fruition, with a member of the Englishman’s team opening up about where the clash might take place. With the pair far and away the two best heavyweights in the UFC, fans around the globe are desperate to see them go head-to-head in the cage.

With Jones very much in the Aspinall clan's crosshairs, the acclaimed coach of the UFC interim heavyweight champion gave an appraisal of Jones' display against Miocic at 37 years old.

Interim champ Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is hoping to get his title unification bout with Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC), who defended his title with a third-round TKO of Stipe Miocic in Saturday’s UFC 309 main event. Jones wants to be compensated handsomely for a potential Aspinall fight, and Johnson sees Aspinall as the man to beat him.

Of Tom Aspinall's three professional defeats, only one can be counted as entirely legitimate. The British heavyweight phenom suffered a knee injury TKO against Curtis Blaydes in just 15 seconds back in 2022 and was previously disqualified for an illegal 12-6 elbow in 2016.

After being present all fight week, not knowing if his services as a backup fighter would be needed at the last moment, Aspinall leaves New York with more confidence that the next time he and Jones step into the octagon, it will be to unify the heavyweight title.
