Aspinall wasted no time in outlining his ambitious plan to reach the top.

Surprisingly, Jones seemed to embrace the challenge expressing his approval on Twitter with a simple, “Sounds good lol.” This response fueled the excitement surrounding Aspinall’s call-out and added more buzz to the potential matchup.

With his victory over Tybura, Aspinall improved his UFC record to 6-1. His only loss was the result of an unfortunate knee injury. He showcased his talent by defeating formidable heavyweights like Alexander Volkov and Sergei Spivac. Finishing all of his opponents inside the Octagon. Aspinall’s impressive performances have earned him the fifth spot in the heavyweight rankings. And he appears to be just one significant win away from securing a title shot.

While Aspinall’s plan for the future seems clear. Jon Jones has his own upcoming challenge. He is set to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, a legend in the division, at UFC 295 in Madison Square Garden. This highly anticipated clash is expected to be a highlight for the promotion.

Aspinall’s bold call-out has garnered the attention of the heavyweight division. And his potential matchup against Jones could be an intriguing clash of talents. However, before he can set his sights on the champion, Aspinall must focus on his path to becoming the top contender. A win against the winner of the Gane vs Spivak fight in Paris would undoubtedly strengthen his case for a title shot and elevate his status as a legitimate heavyweight threat.
