Dana White confirms Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic winner should face Tom Aspinall next

UFC president Dana White has confirmed that he believes the winner of Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic should fight Tom Aspinall next.

This weekend, the main event of UFC 309 is Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic. The two will battle it out over the UFC heavyweight championship. Alas, you could be forgiven for thinking that Tom Aspinall is in the main event instead. The Englishman has been the big name on everyone’s lips in the last few days, and in truth, the last few weeks and months.

Aspinall is the interim heavyweight champion but instead of fighting him, Jones has opted to battle it out with Miocic instead. This has led to a lot of backlash from fans, many of whom believe that Jones vs Aspinall is a fight that simply can’t be overlooked.

At tonight’s pre-fight press conference, Dana White caused an insane reaction from the fans when answering a question about whether or not the winner of Saturday’s main event should fight Aspinall.

Dana White reveals Jones/Miocic/Aspinall plans

“The winner should absolutely fight Tom [Aspinall].”

From there, the crowd began to erupt and led a chorus of “Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!” chants. Jones, White and Miocic couldn’t help but smile in response to the incredible reaction.

The hype train surrounding Tom Aspinall is insane right now. He is starting to really make a name for himself and if Jones does get it done on Saturday night, he’ll surely have no choice but to take the fight.
