Tom Aspinall will go head-to-head against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 for the interim heavyweight title. The fight was announced after Jon Jones suffered an injury and had to pull out of the Stipe Miocic fight. Meanwhile, we’re taking a look at Aspinall’s chances of surpassing ‘Bones’s legacy and ending up fighting him for the undisputed championship.

Jon Jones is arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time. He has a resume that hardly any fighter has been able to replicate. Jones has won titles in two divisions. However, Tom Aspinall also developed an amazing record since arriving at the UFC. Let us take a look at that front.

Comparing Jon Jones’s record to the record of Tom Aspinall

Jon Jones has a record of 27 wins, 1 loss and 1 no-contest. He has won his fights in many ways – via decisions, submissions, and even knockouts. The only time ‘Bones’ lost a fight was against Matt Hamill, which was a disqualification due to him unknowingly hitting the latter with a 12-6 elbow strike when his opponent was on the mat. Meanwhile, Tom Aspinall has also lost one fight in the UFC so far. Nevertheless, the British prospect has been making waves since arriving in Dana White‘s promotion.

Tom Aspinall has an overall MMA record of 13 wins and 3 losses, but he has a 6-1 record in the UFC. He lost only once to Curtis Blaydes via a knockout. However, Aspinall has shown how dominant he can be in all the six fights that he’s won. He’s defeated fighters like Alexander Volkov and Serghei Spivac. Five of his six wins have come in the very first round with submissions and knockouts. Moreover, Aspinall has always finished his opponents instead of defeating them by decision. When it comes to the chances of him fighting Jon Jones, there is a possibility of that fight taking place in the future.

UFC 295 interim title fight could be a number one contender’s match

When Jon Jones pulled out of UFC 295, he left Stipe Miocic without any opponent. Then Dana White announced the fight between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall, snubbing the former two-time heavyweight champion in the process. This has led to speculation from former double champion Henry Cejudo that the interim title fight could be a number one contenders match. Even the UFC legend Chael Sonnen weighed in on the possibility of that happening.

If Tom Aspinall continues his winning ways against the formidable Sergei Pavlovich, we might see him fighting Jon Jones for the undisputed championship. This is where he can finally get his chance to fight for the title after some of the most impressive performances in the history of the UFC’s heavyweight division.
