Tom Aspinall names next fight if Jon Jones & Miocic retire at UFC 309

Tom Aspinall takes a pragmatic approach to the fight for the undisputed UFC heavyweight title.

Aspinall is currently serving as the official reserve fighter for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic at UFC 309. However, his role as a substitute fighter is far from guaranteed. As Daniel Cormier pointed out, it is unlikely that either fighter will take on Aspinall as a replacement.

“None of these guys are fighting Tom Aspinall,” Cormier said in his commentary YouTube channel on September 23rd. “That won't happen. It’ll be Tom Aspinall versus Ciryl Gane or somebody… These guys are fighting each other and no one else, man.”

Speaking on his YouTube channel on September 26, Aspinall highlighted the winner of Ciryl Gane vs. Alexander Volkov as his possible fight for the undisputed title.

“If they both retire, which I think is very likely, I think it only makes sense to fight the winner of Volkov and Gane,” noted Aspinall.

In particular, Aspinall vs. Gane would be the most enticing matchup for MMA fans. The English vs. French narrative would open up the European market, especially with the biggest and baddest UFC title on the line.
