Who Will Win: Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall?

Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall were set to clash in a heavyweight unification bout in 2025. But Jones backed out of a $30 million deal and retired, at least for a while. Now, he’s back and aiming for a return at the White House, where he might finally face Aspinall. Dominick Cruz, a former UFC bantamweight champion, has strong thoughts on how this fight would go down. He believes Jones would outwrestle Aspinall. Cruz saw Aspinall’s recent fight against Ciryl Gane, which ended in a no-contest due to eye pokes. Cruz thinks Aspinall’s wrestling might not be as strong as people think.Cruz pointed out that Aspinall faced opponents who weren’t great wrestlers. He believes Jones, known for his wrestling skills, would have the upper hand. Jones’s striking, length, and Greco-Roman wrestling would pose big problems for Aspinall. Meanwhile, Aspinall is dealing with eye injuries. He revealed he needs two surgeries, one for each eye. The healing process has been slow and frustrating for him. Aspinall mentioned that eye injuries are tricky because doctors try to let them heal naturally first.
