Tom Aspinall makes a strong case for a heavyweight showdown against Jon Jones

After securing the UFC interim heavyweight title against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295, Tom Aspinall is wasting no time in expressing his desire for a high-profile bout. With Jon Jones initially set to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, Aspinall's remarkable performance has thrown his name into the mix.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, the interim champ emphasized his eagerness to face Jones, stating:

"I want to fight Jon Jones, man. And this is no disrespect to Stipe at all. After a performance like Saturday night, who really cares about 42-year-old Stipe who has not fought for 3 or 4 years coming back and fighting Jon Jones? You know what I mean? I just knocked out the scariest dude in the UFC in a minute."

He stressed the importance of relevance, excitement, and drawing power in the fight game, stating:

"I know it's like a big respect thing. Stipe is like the greatest heavyweight ever, and Jon Jones is arguably the greatest MMA fighter ever. I get that. I completely get that, but it's also about relevance. It's also about excitement. It's also about what puts people in seats, what people are gonna buy pay-per-views, and I'm more exciting than anybody right now. I deserve a shot. I'm the champion."[h/t:TMZ]
