LAS VEGAS – The UFC 309 main event backup fighter doesn’t come as a surprise. Interim champion Tom Aspinall will be the first phone call made should the heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones or challenger Stipe Miocic need a replacement, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed Tuesday. “Yes, Tom Aspinall is next in line for anything that happens after this fight,” White said after Dana White’s Contender Series 72 at the UFC Apex. UFC 309 takes place Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
