Every top-ranked heavyweight contender in the UFC is seemingly keeping a close eye on the status of a potential clash between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall.

Jones is widely regarded as the greatest fighter of all time after a nearly perfect career in MMA. The only mark on his record came when he suffered a controversial DQ defeat to Matt Hamill in 2009. Still, #13 ranked UFC heavyweight Mick Parkin expects him to fall short against Aspinall.

UFC president Dana White says Jon Jones is open to facing Tom Aspinall, setting up a potential heavyweight title clash.

Tom Aspinall has dropped a major hint that a fight with Jon Jones could be announced very soon. The UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion secured the title shot after stopping Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in his last fight.
