SHOCKER: Tom Aspinall VOWS to DOMINATE Jon Jones for 25 MINUTES – Dana White CONFIRMS the FIGHT!
The UFC heavyweight division is on fire! Interim champion Tom Aspinall just dropped a bombshell, vowing to “dominate” the legendary Jon Jones for a grueling 25 minutes in what promises to be the most explosive fight of 2025. UFC President Dana White made it official during a press conference in Las Vegas on May 14, 2025, confirming that the long-awaited clash between Aspinall and Jones is set for UFC 319 on July 5, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena.
Aspinall, who has been unstoppable since winning the interim heavyweight title against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 295 in November 2023, didn’t hold back when asked about facing the former light heavyweight king and current heavyweight champ, Jon Jones. “I’m going to play with him for 25 minutes,” Aspinall declared with a smirk. “Jon’s a legend, but I’m younger, faster, and hungrier. I’ll show the world who the real heavyweight king is!”
The British powerhouse, known for his lightning-fast finishes (his last five fights ended in under two minutes each), has been vocal about wanting to unify the belts since Jones won the heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane in March 2023. Jones, however, has been sidelined by injuries and legal issues, delaying his return to the Octagon. Fans on X have been buzzing with anticipation, with one user posting, “Aspinall vs. Jones is the fight we’ve been waiting for! 25 minutes of domination? I’m all in!”
Dana White, visibly excited, confirmed the matchup during the press event. “Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones – it’s happening! This is the biggest fight we could make in the heavyweight division. Tom says he’ll dominate for 25 minutes, but Jon’s got other plans. It’s going to be a war!” White also teased that the winner could face Stipe Miocic later in 2025 for a historic trilogy fight.
Jones, who has a storied career with 27 wins and only one controversial disqualification loss, responded on Instagram with a cryptic message: “Talk is cheap. See you in July.” The 37-year-old has faced criticism for avoiding younger contenders like Aspinall, but his legacy as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time remains undeniable. Still, Aspinall’s confidence has shaken the MMA community, with some analysts on Reddit predicting an upset. “Aspinall’s power and speed might be too much for Jones at this stage,” one user commented. “If he keeps that pace for 25 minutes, Jon’s in trouble!”
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Aspinall, at 32, is in his prime with a record of 15-3, while Jones, at 37, is looking to cement his heavyweight reign with a 3rd successful title defense. Will Aspinall’s bold prediction come true, or will Jones prove why he’s still the GOAT? One thing’s for sure – UFC 319 is shaping up to be an unmissable event!
