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.

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.

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.
