This time, she was taking on Julia Polastri in a three-round fight, looking to bounce back from consecutive decision losses to submission specialists — and top contenders — Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern.

Tom Aspinall urged to move on from UFC title unification fight against Jon Jones

Fernando Quiles Jr. - April 1, 2025

One of the greatest MMA fighters of all time believes Tom Aspinall should stop waiting for Jon Jones. Aspinall has been waiting for his UFC heavyweight title unification bout since knocking out Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 back in Nov. 2023. Aspinall even had a rare successful defense of the interim gold, knocking out Curtis Blaydes in the first round. While Jones has successfully defended the main heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, many are wondering if a unification bout between him and Aspinall will ever materialize.
