Tom Aspinall says UFC Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones now knowing he exists is a “win itself”
Fernando Quiles - July 23, 2023
Tom Aspinall is thrilled to have gotten the attention of UFC heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones. Aspinall headlined UFC London this past Saturday (July 22). He was matched up against Marcin Tybura inside The O2 Arena. This one didn’t last long, as Aspinall floored Tybura in the opening frame and followed that up with ground-and-pound to finish the fight just one minute and 13 seconds in. This earned Aspinall his fifth “Performance of the Night” bonus.
