It seems that one of the most important soap operas in MMA today could soon come to an end. Always willing to give great shows, Dana White made clear his desire to make the fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall a reality at the press conference after UFC Tampa. When asked by a reporter about the status of the long-awaited fight between the current and interim heavyweight champions, Dana stressed that holding it is the UFC’s priority in the 2025 season. Now, even Michael Bisping has claimed that the fight is a must-happen and something bigger than Conor McGregor’s return in the same year.

Taking to his YouTube channel, ‘The Count’ claimed that the fight between the heavyweight champion and the interim heavyweight champion will be the biggest fight in 2025. Even though Conor McGregor announced his return to combat sports with a boxing fight against Logan Paul, the UFC title fight is one that has more at stake and more fan demand going behind it. So, it seems like Conor McGregor’s desire to get the biggest fight of the year will be getting crushed by the clash of the heavyweights. “Of course, that makes sense. Jones versus Aspinall has to happen. That is the big fight of 2025.”

Giving more details, Bisping further revealed that the possible timeline for the fight could be at the International Fight Week. “It isn’t Conor McGregor coming back versus Logan Paul or Jake Paul, even though that’s been talked about and tweeted about by Conor McGregor. Real fight fans want to see the Heavyweight Undisputed Championship. They want to see Tom Aspinall versus Jon Jones. That absolutely has to go down in 2025, and I think it will. International Fight Week would be my pick.”

It is true that Jon Jones constantly rules out confronting the Briton, claiming that there’s nothing to gain in terms of legacy if he beats him. Not satisfied, the veteran said he would only agree to face his opponent if the UFC offered him one of the most valuable proposals in combat sports history. In any case, Dana White doesn’t seem concerned about the professional’s attitude. He guaranteed that the biggest fight of 2025 would take place just like Bisping wanted in the video. But do you know that Tom Aspinall claims that a different fight will be the year’s biggest?

Snubbing Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall reveals his most anticipated fight of 2025

It is no secret to anyone that Tom Aspinall seeks to face Jon Jones at all costs in the UFC heavyweight division in what the MMA community claims will be the most anticipated fight in the sport in 2025. In any case, the Briton, a fan of combat sports, reveals that the confrontation he dreams of seeing in the Octagon next season has Alex Pereira involved. On his official YouTube channel, Tom Aspinall, without hesitation, chose the possible fight between the UFC light heavyweight champion and Magomed Ankalaev as the one he most wants to see in 2025.

The Briton said, “The fight I am most looking forward to the most is Alex vs. Ankalaev. What a clash of styles. Southpaw, wrestler, front foot fighter against a knockout merchant that is Alex Pereira. 2025, that fight has to be made. That could be one of the biggest fights potentially in the UFC, definitely at light heavyweight division. And that is something I’m very, very much looking forward to. Big guys, knockout power, throwing down. I want to see that,” the fighter said.

However, it is worth noting that ‘Poatan’ is not interested in facing the Russian and classifies him as a ‘boring’ fighter. In addition, the striker reported that he would do everything possible to make it difficult for his rival to compete for the division title. Why? Because of the disrespect and the lies he claimed they were making. On the other hand, Ankalaev, number one in the ranking of the category, constantly attacks the champion, promises to dethrone him, and accuses him of running away from the fight. Well, what do you think? Who will have the biggest fight, according to you, Conor McGregor, Jon Jones or Alex Pereira? Let us know in the comments.
