Aspinall: I’m the new breed of heavyweights in the UFC

Tom Aspinall explains how he is taking inspiration from Leon Edwards’ journey to UFC gold.

Jon Jones is out of his highly anticipated heavyweight title fight against Stipe Miocic, UFC CEO Dana White announced Tuesday on social media.

Jones was supposed to defend the UFC heavyweight title against Miocic, the former champ, in the main event of UFC 295 on Nov. 11 in New York. White said Jones tore a pectoral tendon off the bone in training Monday night, and he’ll need surgery which will keep him out around eight months.

The vacant light heavyweight title fight between former champ JiYí Procházka and former middleweight titleholder Alex Pereira will now headline the card at Madison Square Garden. There will also be a new fight added as the co-main event: Tom Aspinall vs. Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title.

Miocic will no longer compete on the card with the loss of the high-profile fight against Jones. It was billed as a clash between Jones, widely regarded as the best fighter in MMA history, and Miocic, the most successful heavyweight ever in the UFC.

Sources indicate that the organizers are aiming to reschedule the Jones vs. Miocic bout for a major event in 2024.
