Posted on October 15, 2024 by A. J. Riot

Any diehard MMA fans will have noticed Tom Aspinall’s rise to stardom in the UFC. Initially joining the promotion from Cage Warriors, Aspinall’s talent was evident as soon as he stepped into the Octagon. In fact, many fans and experts think he is now the man to beat in the heavyweight division despite highly anticipated fights to come, with Jon Jones against Stipe Miocic hogging the limelight in the division right now.

Aspinall has already shown that he fears none of his rivals. A huge fight with the winner of Jones against Miocic could be on the cards, with Jones being priced as the favorite when looking at UFC odds, although Stipe Miocic represents great value at +410. Regardless of the outcome between the two veterans, Tom Aspinall has the tools to see off both fighters. As the British man has already demonstrated on numerous occasions, he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC right now.

While Jon Jones will continually play down Aspinall’s ability, many feel he’s refusing to entertain a potential match-up with Aspinall as he’s afraid of tarnishing his legacy and leaving the sport with a loss. Jones is arguably the best fighter ever, but that isn’t at heavyweight. For many fans, Aspinall is the best heavyweight in the world right now. Here’s why below.
