UFC President Dana White has stated that Tom Aspinall will not be fighting Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic next, and they will not strip Jones. However, White is open to Aspinall defending the UFC interim title, but not against Miocic. There is speculation about who Aspinall should fight next, with Ciryl Gane and the winner of Almeida/Blaydes being mentioned. Meanwhile, Jon Jones is ranked as one of the top 5 all-time MMA fighters by some sources.
