Tom Aspinall Hints at Jon Jones Fight But Remains 'Sworn to Secrecy'
Alright, let's talk about the heavyweight chaos brewing in the UFC right now—because Tom Aspinall just dropped a cryptic bomb that’s sent the MMA world into a frenzy. The interim heavyweight champ has all but confirmed that some big news is coming… but he’s been “sworn to secrecy.” Yeah, you heard that right. He knows what’s next, but we don’t—at least not yet.
So here’s where we’re at: Aspinall has been chasing a title unification fight with Jon Jones for what feels like forever. Nearly two years of back-and-forths, silence, negotiations, and subtle social media jabs. After defending his interim belt against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304, Aspinall’s full focus shifted to “Bones.” And now, it finally feels like that long-running saga might be coming to a close.

Just recently, Aspinall shared a teaser on his YouTube channel, saying he’s fully aware of what’s coming, but he can’t say anything just yet. Those were his words— “stay tuned” —which only adds fuel to the already raging fire of speculation. Fans have been begging for an announcement, and it looks like it might finally be coming, possibly aligned with one of UFC’s next big pay-per-view events like UFC 315 or even UFC 316. International Fight Week in June could be the perfect setting, especially with rumors swirling about other cards getting reshuffled.
Now, Dana White hasn’t exactly kept his poker face either. He hinted that the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fight is “done,” with just the final details being ironed out. If that’s true, we could be looking at one of the most anticipated heavyweight title fights in recent memory—probably the most hyped since Stipe vs. DC or even Khabib vs. Tony before it all fell apart.
But it hasn’t been without its drama. Aspinall hasn’t held back, recently calling Jones a “strange guy” in a game of word association, which shows his growing frustration with the delays. And let’s be real, a lot of fans are starting to side-eye Jones for dodging this fight. Whether it’s injuries, contract disputes, or just mind games—many think he’s stalling. Even Vitor Belfort chimed in, saying Jones should just “walk away” before he risks losing to Aspinall. That’s how big a threat people believe Tom is.
And if you’ve followed Jones’ recent behavior, it’s been peak cryptic. He tweeted and deleted a jab about someone who “was known for calling out Jon Jones” but “didn’t end up being great at all.” Many think it was aimed at Aspinall. Classic Jones move—mind games and mystery.
But here’s the thing: time is ticking. If this fight doesn’t happen soon, there’s a real chance Aspinall could be promoted to undisputed champion by default if Jones walks away. That’s not how anyone wants it to go down, least of all Aspinall. He wants to earn it. He wants that win over the legend himself. And fans? They just want to see these two monsters throw down already.
So for now, we wait. Tom’s got the scoop, but he’s locked it up tight. And while we’re all refreshing our feeds every five minutes hoping for the big reveal, one thing is clear: when that announcement drops, it’s going to shake the entire MMA world.
Stay tuned—because the heavyweight storm is brewing, and Tom Aspinall is right at the eye of it.
