In a recent social media post that has since been deleted, Conor McGregor shared his thoughts on the possible UFC heavyweight title superfight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. This caused quite a buzz among UFC fans, sparking discussions and debates across the MMA community.

After successfully defending his heavyweight belt against Stipe Miocic with a technical knockout, Jones is now in search of his next opponent. While he has shown interest in facing light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira, fans are eagerly anticipating a matchup between Jones and interim heavyweight champ Aspinall. Aspinall, who served as the backup fighter for UFC 309, has been vocal about wanting to face Jones in the octagon. However, Jones has made it clear that he expects significant compensation before agreeing to the fight.

Following a positive meeting with UFC president Dana White and chief business officer Hunter Campbell, Aspinall remains hopeful that he will get the title shot he believes he deserves. With a impressive record of three consecutive first-round knockout finishes, standing at 6ft 5 and weighing 250lbs, Aspinall presents a unique challenge for Jones, who is now in his late thirties.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor has also weighed in on the potential matchup, expressing his support for the fight. He even pointed out some sparring footage involving Aspinall, urging Jones to take notice. Despite his initial reservations, McGregor now seems to be on board with the idea of the two fighters going head to head.

While White has hyped up the potential Jones vs Aspinall fight as possibly the biggest in UFC history, McGregor seems to be a bit more reserved in his excitement, simply responding with “Now, now” to White’s statement. The anticipation for a showdown between Jones and Aspinall continues to grow, with McGregor’s input adding an extra layer of intrigue to the mix. UFC fans will have to wait and see if this highly anticipated matchup will come to fruition.
