Tom Aspinall Touts ‘Unstoppable’ Teammate’s Preparation Ahead Of UFC Seattle Return

Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall expects one of his teammates to put on a show at Saturday’s UFC Seattle event.

Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall expects one of his teammates to put on a show at Saturday’s UFC Seattle event.

Mixed martial arts’ leading promotion is back in the state of Washington this week, where top 10 flyweights Henry Cejudo and Song Yadong will top an intriguing-looking UFC Fight Night lineup.

Among the notable names set to compete on the preliminary card is Modestas Bukauskas, a Lithuanian-British light heavyweight who has won five of his last six contests inside the cage.

Since returning to the UFC off the back of a stint in Cage Warriors, “The Baltic Gladiator” has gone 3-1, with the sole loss on that run coming by way of knockout to Vitor Petrino.

After bouncing back in 2024 with an impressive submission victory over Marcin Prachnio on home soil, Bukauskas will look to make it back-to-back triumphs when he meets Raffael Cerqueira at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22.

And Aspinall, for one, seems fully confident in his teammate.

The heavyweight star re-shared promotional material posted by the UFC Europe account to his Instagram Stories, providing some insight into his fellow countryman’s preparation for the upcoming event.

“This guy has looked unstoppable in the gym. Tune in this Saturday”

With that said, Aspinall will no doubt have a close eye on proceedings when Bukauskas makes the walk at UFC Seattle inside Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena.

While “The Baltic Gladiator” is days away from his next outing, Aspinall remains without a date in the calendar. He’s continued to push for a unification showdown with heavyweight champ Jon Jones, but the UFC is yet to confirm whether that will go ahead in 2025.

Jon Jones may not be “too concerned” with Tom Aspinall, but before long, he’ll have no choice but to go toe-to-toe with the best heavyweight in MMA.

While Aspinall was busy both winning and defending the interim UFC heavyweight championship, ‘Bones’ sat on the sidelines while recovering from a pectoral injury and talking up his fight with former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic.

Now that that fight is finally in the books, all attention has turned to the clash fans actually want to see.

Of course, all of that hinges on whether or not Jon Jones will sign on the dotted line. For more than a year, ‘Bones’ has been completely dismissive of a fight with Aspinall, suggesting that the British slugger is not a big enough name to garner his time or attention.

Demetrious Johnson suggests it’s jon jones’ duty to fight the interim champion, like it or not

During a recent interview with The MMA Guru, former UFC and ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson suggested that as the undisputed heavyweight titleholder, ‘Bones’ has a duty to fight Tom Aspinall, whether he’s “concerned” about the Brit or not.

“Jon Jones is like, I’m not too concerned about Tom Aspinall,” Johnson said. “I was like, um… well, he’s an interim champion. I think—I think by law… [laughs].”

Dana White has expressed confidence that Jones vs. Aspinall will go down in 2025. Johnson even believes that the UFC CEO already has both fighters locked into a date, but with no official announcements, fans continue to remain skeptical.

Will Jones vs. Aspinall go down this year, or will ‘Bones’ opt to retire on top rather than putting his gold and his legacy on the line one last time? That’s the question that only time will tell.

Why Dana White’s Silence Speaks Volume: Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall is a Done Deal According to UFC Legend

Former flyweight great Demetrious Johnson thinks Dana White’s silence speaks volumes.

Ever since Jon Jones’ third-round knockout of Stipe Miocic in November, fight fans have been clamoring for a title unification clash between the undisputed heavyweight champion and Tom Aspinall, the UFC’s current interim heavyweight king.

Truth be told, fans were calling for that fight long before then, but with Jones’ business with Miocic finally in the books, there’s nothing stopping the UFC from making the champion vs. champion showdown a reality, other than guaranteeing ‘Bones’ a big fat payday for what could very well be the last fight of his UFC career.

But according to ‘Mighty Mouse,’ the UFC may already have Jones vs. Aspinall locked in.

During a recent interview with The MMA Guru, the former UFC and ONE flyweight world titleholder believes that Dana White’s unusual silence regarding the fight is a strong indication that the promotion already has a deal in place and is just taking its time to make the blockbuster announcement.

“Since Dana White hasn’t gone on, and nobody’s really asked about it, right? Usually, after each pay-per-view or each Fight Night, Dana White’s there, and they’re like, ‘Hey, you know, we haven’t seen any movement from Tom. What’s going on?’ Right? But nobody’s asked, so I think you’re onto something. I think it’s a done deal,” Johnson said.

After KOs Over Sergei Pavlovich and Curtis Blaydes, dana white Can no longer deny Tom Aspinall

After suffering a torn pectoral muscle that took him out of his previously scheduled clash with Moicic at UFC 295, the promotion quickly booked an interim heavyweight title fight between Aspinall and Russian knockout artist Sergei Pavlovich in the evening’s co-main event.

It only took Aspinall 69 seconds to send Pavlovich crashing to the canvas, scoring a quick-fire KO and claiming his first UFC gold.

Since then, Aspinall has defended the interim title, earning another stunning 60-second knockout over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 in July.

The potential fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated heavyweight clashes in UFC history. With both fighters agreeing in principle, fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement for this unification bout. Here’s a breakdown of the betting odds and what they mean.

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall Early Odds

The current UFC odds from Bodog list Jon Jones at -108 and Tom Aspinall at -112. In this case, both fighters are nearly evenly matched. For Jones at -108, you would need to bet $108 to win $100. For Aspinall at -112, you’d need to wager $112 to win $100. These odds suggest that bookmakers see this as a very close fight, with Aspinall being a slight favorite due to his youth and recent dominant performances.

According to these numbers, ‘Bones’ Jones’ implied probability of winning is approximately 51.92% and Aspinall’s implied probability is about 52.83%.

Jon Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. He is the reigning undisputed heavyweight champion with a legendary career. Known for his creativity, adaptability, and tactical brilliance, Jones has seamlessly transitioned from dominating the light heavyweight division to capturing the heavyweight crown.

His last fight was a decisive victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, where he showcased his overall MMA mastery. Jon Jones‘ unorthodox striking, featuring spinning elbows and oblique kicks, combined with his wrestling pedigree, makes him a nightmare for any opponent.

On the other side stands Tom Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion from England. All his professional career victories have come via stoppage. Known for his exceptional striking power and speed, Aspinall has also demonstrated maturing grappling skills that make him a well-rounded threat. His recent performances include a first-round knockout of Curtis Blaydes in July 2024 and a dominant win over Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim title in late 2023.

Aspinall’s aggressive style and ability to finish fights quickly, as his average fight time is just over two minutes, have made him one of the most exciting heavyweights in the sport. While Jones may look to control the fight with his wrestling and range management, Aspinall will aim to use his speed and power to overwhelm the veteran.

Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of this bout, which looks to be a historic showdown between one of MMA’s greatest champions and its brightest contender. Whether it’s Jones’ experience or Aspinall’s youthful momentum that prevails, this fight will undoubtedly shape the future of the heavyweight division.

UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has caused a stir, as speculation about his future in the cage continues.

Jones returned from a lengthy layoff to defend the heavyweight gold for the first time last November, headlining UFC 309 in New York City opposite former champion Stipe Miocic.

“Bones” received plenty of flak for facing the veteran over his division’s interim titleholder, Tom Aspinall. And despite the division still having two champs, there remains no confirmation that they will face one another in 2025.

But could that change in less than 24 hours’ time?

Jones took to X on Wednesday to announce an announcement.

Dana White Spills the Tea on Tom Aspinall’s Relentless Hunt for Life-Changing Fight with Jon Jones

There are a lot of fighters who talk a big game in front of the camera and tuck their…

There are a lot of fighters who talk a big game in front of the camera and tuck their tails when it’s time to throw hands. Tom Aspinall is not that guy.

That comes according to UFC CEO Dana White who sang the praises of the interim heavyweight champion during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Specifically, White applauded Aspinall for being a guy who legitimately wants to fight the best of the best.

”He [Aspinall] wants to fight everybody. I love it,” White said. “I love that, a young aggresive talented heavyweight, that he actually wants to fight all of the best. The problem in this business is you have guys who say a lot of thinigs publicly but behind the curtains they don’t mean it…Tom Aspinall is not that guy. Tom Aspinall wants to fight all the best in the world and I love that.”

White is excited to find out just how good tom aspinall really is

Aspinall will get his shot to fight the best in the world before long. Though no official announcements have been made, White has been more than confident when saying that a long-awaited clash between Aspinall and undisputed heavyweight titleholder Jon ‘Bones’ Jones would go down in 2025.

Asked how good he thinks Aspinall is, White believes that the Brit is pretty damn good, but we’ll find out just how good when he inevitably tussles with the pound-for-pound greatest mixed martial artist of all time.

”Very good,” White said. We’re gonna find out when we make this Jon Jones fight…if he can beat Jon Jones, it’s life changing. ”

After winning the interim title via a 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295, Aspinall became the first fighter in more than a decade to defend an interim belt, defeating Curtis Blaydes exactly one minute into their title tilt at UFC 307 in July.

Meanwhile, Jones is coming off his first successful defense of the undisputed crown, scoring a third-round TKO over two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic at MSG in November.
