UFC CEO Dana White wants Tom Aspinall to be the backup for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic: “We'd be insane not to make him the backup”

Fernando Quiles Jr. - July 28, 2024

UFC CEO Dana White plans to have interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall be the backup for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic. Aspinall once again proved he’s a dangerous top heavyweight during his title defense against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304. Aspinall needed just one minute to finish “Razor” to send the Manchester crowd into a frenzy. He scored the TKO victory and now looks primed for a future undisputed championship bout against the winner of Jones vs. Miocic.
