A Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall UFC heavyweight title showdown is “like a movie that we’re all excited about that might never come out.”

At UFC 247, Jones defended his light heavyweight title for the last time against Dominick Reyes before vacating the belt several months later. The champion won the fight on all three scorecards but there’s a fairly common belief that the challenger deserved the win with the media scorecards being 14-7 in favor of Reyes.

Michael Bisping believes Tom Aspinall has Jon Jones' number, even before they've fought. Aspinall has been champing at the bit for a shot at Jones since winning the interim heavyweight championship in November 2023.

UFC CEO Dana White revealed that O’Malley will challenge Dvalishvili for the bantamweight title in the main event of UFC 316 in June, a rematch of their UFC 306 title fight that saw Dvalishvili win by dominant decision.

In the co-main event, the women's bantamweight crown will also be on the line when Julianna Peña begins her second title reign with a defense against Kayla Harrison.
