Tom Aspinall is chasing greatness with or without Jon Jones . After knocking out Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim heavyweight title at UFC 295 , Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was hoping to unify his belt with heavyweight champion Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) next. However, with Jones continuously dismissing him , he may not ever get that opportunity. Instead of a title-unification bout with Jones, Aspinall runs things back with Curtis Blaydes (18-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) in the UFC 304 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) co-main event July 27 in Manchester, England. Blaydes won their first fight by TKO in July 2022 after Aspinall blew out his knee 15 seconds into the fight.
