Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is backup for Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic bout.
Tom Aspinall, the UFC interim heavyweight champion, has been named the backup fighter for the Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic bout at UFC 309. However, UFC legend Daniel Cormier doubts Aspinall will get the opportunity to fight, citing the risk-reward dilemma for both Jones and Miocic. Cormier suggests they may opt for a different opponent, likely Ciryl Gane, if an injury occurs. Aspinall's title aspirations may also be affected by Jones' retirement plans.
