Recently, Conor McGregor stirred the pot among UFC enthusiasts with his thoughts on a highly anticipated heavyweight title superfight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. This commentary came in a now-deleted social media post that ignited plenty of discussions within the MMA community.

Following his successful title defense against Stipe Miocic, in which he won by technical knockout, Jones has left Miocic to retire from fighting. Now holding the heavyweight championship, Jones is actively searching for his next opponent and has expressed interest in a matchup with light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.

Nonetheless, the UFC fanbase is buzzing about the possibility of Jones squaring off against interim heavyweight champion Aspinall. Aspinall, who was the designated backup fighter for the UFC 309 main event, was also seen ringside during the fight. Despite his eagerness to fight Jones, the latter has made it clear that he expects substantial financial compensation—what he refers to as “f**k you money”—before agreeing to enter the octagon with the British fighter.

After having a productive meeting with UFC president Dana White and chief business officer Hunter Campbell, Aspinall is optimistic about securing the title shot he believes he has earned. Standing tall at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing in at 250 pounds, Aspinall has an impressive track record, boasting three consecutive first-round knockout finishes. His unique fighting style presents a significant challenge for the 37-year-old Jones.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor has also chimed in on this potential clash, advocating for the fight to happen. He even brought up some “woeful” sparring footage of Aspinall, hinting that Jones should take a closer look at it. While McGregor initially seemed hesitant, he has since warmed up to the idea of these two fighters meeting in the octagon.

White has touted the potential showdown between Jones and Aspinall as possibly the biggest fight in UFC history. However, McGregor expressed some skepticism regarding that claim, simply responding with “Now, now” in reaction to White’s bold statement.

As the anticipation builds for a possible matchup between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall, McGregor’s commentary adds yet another layer of intrigue to the discussion. UFC fans are left eagerly waiting to see if this much-anticipated fight will materialize.
