In a thrilling turn of events, Tom Aspinall continues to spark excitement about his highly anticipated next UFC fight, leaving fans buzzing with speculation.

The reigning interim heavyweight champion, who spectacularly knocked out Curtis Blaydes in just 60 seconds at UFC 304 last July, has been eyeing a unification bout with the legendary Jon Jones. However, the MMA icon has been cautious about accepting the fight, leading to prolonged anticipation. But now, signs indicate that a resolution may finally be on the horizon.

The Cryptic Tease: Heavyweight News?

On Monday, Aspinall tantalizingly teased fans with the words "heavyweight news" alongside a mysterious six-second promo revealing the date "28.05.2025." He further stirred the pot with a thought-provoking quote on his Instagram story: "What a blessing to be tired in the pursuit of a challenge of your own choosing." Fans are left on the edge of their seats, eager to decode his cryptic messages.

Countdown to an Announcement!

With the anticipation building, fans won't have to wait much longer for a monumental update regarding Aspinall's next fight—expected within the next 24 hours.

What If Jon Jones Declines?

Should Jon Jones choose to step back from this matchup, the options for Aspinall become limited. UFC commentator Joe Rogan has voiced concerns over a "shallow" heavyweight division that lacks rising stars and serious title contenders.

Should the much-coveted fight with Jones not materialize, the name Ciryl Gane arises as a potential challenger. Gane, currently the biggest name remaining available, is the only top-five fighter that Aspinall hasn't already faced and bested.

So, as the clock ticks down to a potential announcement, all eyes will be on the UFC to see if it’s Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall or if Gane steps in for a heavyweight title showdown.
