Tom Aspinall couldn\u2019t care less if Jon Jones watches his heavyweight title fight later today (Sat., Oct. 25, 2025) at UFC 321 LIVE on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV)<\/a> from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE.<\/p>\n

The reigning UFC heavyweight king will step inside the Octagon for his second-straight defense in a main event clash with two-time title challenger, Ciryl Gane. Aspinall is a heavy betting favorite to take care of business because he has all the tools to make quick work out of \u201cBon Gamin.\u201d That said, there\u2019s still a ton of pressure on Aspinall to live up to his hype<\/a> and keep his belt.<\/p>\n

In turn, there will be a lot of eyes on Aspinall vs. Gane, but the champ doesn\u2019t care if those watching include UFC legend, Jon Jones. Remember, Aspinall and Jones share a feud that goes back years. The two heavyweights were never able to solidify an actual fight<\/a> before Jones\u2019 surprise retirement<\/a> earlier this year, but fans are still holding out hope that the matchup will one day come to fruition. Aspinall, on the other hand, is tired of talking about Jones<\/a> and really doesn\u2019t care if \u201cBones\u201d watches his title fight Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t care less [if Jon Jones\u2019 watches], to be honest,\u201d Aspinall told TMZ<\/a> (shown above). \u201cHonestly, he\u2019s the last person on my mind this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for his clash with Gane, Aspinall is happy to meet \u201cBon Gamin\u201d at this point in their respective careers and put on a great heavyweight showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fight with me and Cyril has definitely been simmering for a number of years since we both first got in the UFC,\u201d said Aspinall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s happened at the right time, to be honest. I think if we would have fought each other when we were unranked or lower down the rankings, it obviously would not have been such a big fight as it is now. Now we\u2019re fighting for the undisputed heavyweight title, which is great.\u201d<\/p>\n
