It is being reported that a Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall super-fight for the UFC Heavyweight Title is being targeted for the UFC 317 main event during International Fight Week in Las Vegas in June.
Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall To Headline UFC 317 In International Fight Week
It is being widely reported that the blockbuster UFC Heavyweight Title fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall will headline UFC 317 in International Fight Week.
That’s right UFC fans, get excited as Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall is set to go down in Las Vegas in June in the main event at UFC 317. For now these reports are mere speculation, but it seems that MMA fans are closer than ever to getting the huge heavyweight match-up they so desperately desire.
UFC President Dana White has expressed his interest in making this fight on more than one occasion. Now, it seems that talks must be going well between all parties as we are closer than ever to Jones vs Aspinall being officially announced.
Charles Oliveira vs Max Holloway has been another rumoured fight for UFC 317 in International Fight Week, and would serve as a perfect co-main event to Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall.
Jon Jones is arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time, but would likely go into a bout with Tom Aspinall as the underdog with the best UFC betting sites. This is due to the sheer size, speed and age advantage Aspinall has over ‘Bones’.
That being said, Tom Aspinall has never fought anyone of the calibre of Jones. The American on the other hand has beaten every single man put in front of him, bar one which was a fight he won, but was disqualified for due to landing an illegal shot.
If Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall does headline UFC 317 in International Fight Week, it will undoubtedly be the biggest fight of the year by quite some distance. Fingers crossed it gets officially announced in the next month or two!

Who Will Be The Jones vs Aspinall Favourite?
Should the Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall super-fight for the UFC Heavyweight Title get officially signed, it would be a tough one for the best UK betting sites to call.
That being said, the best sports betting apps would likely favour Tom Aspinall ever so slightly. This may come as a surprise to some UFC fans, given that Jon Jones is arguably the greatest MMA fighter to ever grace the octagon.
Although this is the case and it cannot be denied just how phenomenal ‘Bones’ is, he is in the later stages of his career now and slightly past his best. Compare this to Tom Aspinall who is in the form of his life and is the younger, fresher fighter.
Not to mention that Aspinall is the harder hitting with more knockout power, and has the speed advantage over Jones too. That being said, write off the great Jon Jones at your peril. He is an elite martial artist and incredibly hard to beat, as each and every one of his previous opponents would testify.
Aspinall has never fought anyone near the level of Jones, so could fall short in this huge step up in class. Time will tell how the fight goes in the cage, but for now UFC fans can keep their fingers crossed that Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall gets officially made for UFC 317 in International Fight Week.
