Heading into UFC 309, heavyweight champion Jon Jones was hesitant to commit to competing beyond his title fight with Stipe Miocic. Coming out of UFC 309, Jones has sung a different tune, and that has UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik feeling

With Jones very much in the Aspinall clan's crosshairs, the acclaimed coach of the UFC interim heavyweight champion gave an appraisal of Jones' display against Miocic at 37 years old.

Of Tom Aspinall's three professional defeats, only one can be counted as entirely legitimate. The British heavyweight phenom suffered a knee injury TKO against Curtis Blaydes in just 15 seconds back in 2022 and was previously disqualified for an illegal 12-6 elbow in 2016.

Jones is fresh off his first title defense at heavyweight, a Round 3 TKO of Stipe Miocic less than two weeks ago in the UFC 309 main event. Meanwhile, Aspinall defended his interim title with a first-round TKO of Curtis Blayes in the UFC 304 headliner in July.
