He&rsquo;s 8-1 in the UFC so far and has finished all of his opponents. He&rsquo;s a dangerous fighter that has firmly established himself as the second best fighter in the heavyweight division. In 2023, Aspinall beat Sergei Pavlovich to claim the interim championship after heavyweight champion Jon Jones was forced to pull out due to an injury. <\/p><p>Aspinall became the first UFC British heavyweight fighter to win a UFC title, and he even went on to defend his interim belt (which is unusual) against Curtis Blaydes on July of 2024, where Aspinall knocked out his competition. However, now that he&rsquo;s the number one contender and has taken down pretty much every other top fighter in the heavyweight division, Aspinall has his eyes set on the actual title which is in the hands of the UFC&rsquo;s G.O.A.T, Jon Jones.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tom Aspinall provides an update on the Jon Jones fight:<br><br>&ldquo;What is holding it up right now is [Jon&rsquo;s] side.
