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

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.

Tom Aspinall reveals he was excluded from attending the UFC 309 press conference, despite being the backup fighter for Jones vs. Miocic.

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.

He believes Jones has little to gain from this fight beyond financial compensation. Ngannou argued that while Aspinall needs this fight to cement his reputation, Jones stands in a different position.

Tom Aspinall gained confidence after watching Jon Jones retain his heavyweight title at UFC 309. Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) was in attendance for Jones' spinning back kick finish of Stipe Miocic in Saturday's main event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
