Former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic shared his insights with interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall about his upcoming fight against reigning champion Jon Jones, which is expected to take place in the summer of 2025.
Stipe Miocic, quoted by Bloodyelbow
Don’t do what I did [LAUGHS]. Tom is super tough and he hits hard, moves well, he’s a big man. If he stays calm under the situation and whatever happens, he just stays calm, I think he’ll be fine. If he picks his shots and he’s smart with what he does, I think he’ll do fine.
Aspinall last fought in July 2024 at UFC 304, where he knocked out Curtis Blaydes in the first round. His record stands at 15 wins and three losses.
Jon Jones last stepped into the octagon in November 2024 at UFC 309, where he defeated Stipe Miocic by technical knockout in the third round. He holds a record of 28 wins, one loss, and one no contest.
