Tom Aspinall is coming off a dominating win over Marcin Tybura at UFC London, and former middleweight champion Michael Bisping believes Aspinall would do the same thing to heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones.
“Tom Aspinall was utterly fantastic (at UFC London). That’s one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from a heavyweight,” Bisping told Sky Sports.
“Marcin Tybura, the guy that he beat, is no walk in the park. He’s won seven of his last eight against world class opposition, and Tom just blew threw him like he was nothing. And I do 100-percent believe that he will be the champion. In fact, I know that he will be the champion barring any freak injury or something terrible or bad luck happens. He will be the champion of the world.
“Jon Jones is the heavyweight champion. He’s an incredible fighter. He’s incredible. He’s one of the greatest of all time. I don’t think he can hold a candle to Tom. I think Tom will do the same thing to Jon Jones as he did to Marcin Tybura. I don’t think there’s anyone that can stop Tom Aspinall. He’s that good.”
Jones takes on former heavyweight two-time heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
