Aspinall crushes Blaydes, sets sights on heavyweight gold
Tom Aspinall wasted no time in making his intentions clear after dismantling Curtis Blaydes in a lightning-fast first-round TKO at UFC 304. “Hello Jon. I have nothing against you personally, but I just think I'm better than you," Aspinall addressed Jon Jones directly in the octagon, his confidence unshaken by the stakes. "I just know that I can beat you in a fight. So I’m coming for it.”
This bold call-out wasn’t just spur-of-the-moment bravado; Aspinall has been eyeing a matchup against Jones for quite some time. His victory over Blaydes, where he needed barely a minute to defend his interim title, was a decisive statement. It wasn’t just any win; it avenged his only loss in the UFC, showing his growth and readiness for higher challenges.
Even before this fight, the stakes were clear. Dana White had previously confirmed that the winner between Aspinall and Blaydes would potentially face the victor of the upcoming bout between Jon Jones and former champion Stipe Miocic. With Miocic out of action for over two years, Aspinall’s spectacular performance has undoubtedly pushed him to the front of the line for a title shot.
Now, with the ball in his court, Aspinall is not just waiting for his shot — he’s demanding it. His challenge to Jones isn’t just about claiming the heavyweight title; it’s about proving he belongs at the pinnacle of the sport. The question now isn’t if this clash will happen, but rather, when and how electrifying it will be when these two titans finally collide.
