Tom Aspinall became the UFC interim heavyweight champion with a first-round knockout against Sergei Pavlovich in November 2023.

Jon Jones' injury announced during that same month kept him sidelined for a year. As a result, Aspinall defended his interim strap with a first-round knockout against Curtis Blaydes on July 27.


Tom Aspinall reminds Jon Jones he's "completely different" than Stipe Miocic

On Nov. 16, Jon Jones defended his UFC heavyweight title for the first time with a third-round knockout against Stipe Miocic. Tom Aspinall was in attendance for the Madison Square Garden event, keeping a close eye on Jones.

During a video posted on his YouTube channel, Aspinall reacted to Jones' win and sent him a warning by saying:

"2025, Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones unifying the heavyweight belts. One of the first times in recent memory that this has been done. Two heavyweights with belts fighting each other. I was there for the Stipe fight, obviously, in New York City, Madison Square Garden. Good fight against Stipe. Let's remember, I ain't Stipe, completely different."
