Jon Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, but his potential fight against Tom Aspinall presents significant challenges that make a victory unlikely.
Jon Jones dominated the light heavyweight division for years, but at heavyweight, he faces physically larger and more powerful opponents. Tom Aspinall is a natural heavyweight, standing at 6'5" and weighing around 250 lbs with elite athleticism. Unlike past heavyweights Jones has faced, Aspinall moves with the speed of a middleweight while maintaining knockout power. Although Jones bulked up for heavyweight, he still lacks the same explosiveness and natural power as Aspinall.
Aspinall is one of the most well-rounded strikers in the UFC heavyweight division. His boxing is crisp, technical, and fluid—far superior to Jones' striking at heavyweight. Jones has never been known for knockout power; his striking success at light heavyweight relied on reach, eye pokes, PEDs, oblique kicks, and volume. Aspinall, however, has the ability to pressure, slip punches, and deliver devastating counterstrikes. At 36 years old, Jones' speed and reaction time have diminished, whereas Aspinall is in his prime, making him the faster and more explosive fighter.
Jones' biggest advantage has always been his wrestling, but heavyweight wrestling is a different game. Aspinall has solid grappling skills and a legitimate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. He has quickly submitted skilled opponents and has shown fluid transitions on the ground. Unlike Ciryl Gane, who had poor takedown defence, Aspinall has both the skills and size to neutralise Jones’ wrestling attempts.
Heavyweight fights often come down to durability and knockout power, and Aspinall has a clear advantage in both. Jones has never been knocked out, but he has also never faced a heavyweight with Aspinall's supreme speed and precision in striking. If the fight turns into a striking battle, Aspinall’s power gives him a significant edge, as Jones does not possess one-punch knockout ability.
Jones suffered a significant pectoral injury in 2023, delaying his return to the octagon. A major injury at his age could hinder his performance, especially against an opponent like Aspinall, who is younger, faster, and fully healthy. Jones’ only fight at heavyweight was against Ciryl Gane, a striker with poor wrestling. He has yet to be tested against a well-rounded and aggressive heavyweight like Aspinall.
While Jon Juice "Quack Quack" Jones was a legendary fighter with an elite fight IQ, his disadvantages in size, speed, power, and striking make a win against Tom Aspinall unlikely. Aspinall’s combination of elite boxing, speed, grappling skills, and heavyweight natural attributes create a stylistic nightmare for Jones. If the fight happens, which I doubt, Aspinall’s chances of winning, either by knockout or submission, are significantly higher than Jones’ chances of controlling, eye poking, and outpointing him.
