Jon Jones starts as the slight favorite, If Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall fight.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is only a slight favorite in a potential fight against Tom Aspinall.

In the UFC 295 main event, Jones was scheduled to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic. But less than two weeks after the fight, “Bones” had to withdraw due to a torn pec.

The UFC scheduled Tom Aspinall against Sergei Pavlovich for the interim heavyweight title after Jon Jones was forced to withdraw from the fight. Aspinall ultimately prevailed in the fight via first-round knockout. The odds for a potential fight between Jones and Aspinall have now been made public by BetOnline.

Initial Odds:

Jon Jones -140
Tom Aspinall +120

If you like Jon Jones to win the fight, you would need to bet $140 to win $100 should ‘Bones’ win. If you think Tom Aspinall can pull off the upset, a $100 would net you $120 if the Brit wins.

Although the odds have been released, it’s also uncertain if this fight even comes to fruition. Jones will still fight Stipe Miocic sometime in 2024 once he’s healthy and there’s been talk it will be the final fight of his career.

Jon Jones (27-1 and one No Contest) is coming off a first-round submission over Ciryl Gane in March to win the vacant heavyweight title. The victory also ended his three-year-long layoff as he beat Dominick Reyes by decision at UFC 247 to defend his light heavyweight title. After that win, he of course vacated the light heavyweight belt so he could add weight and move the move up to the heavyweight division.

At UFC 295, Tom Aspinall (14-3) defeated Sergei Pavlovich via first-round knockout to take the interim heavyweight title. Before that, in July, after rupturing his ACL in a fight with Curtis Blaydes, he defeated Marcin Tybura via first-round TKO. Aspinall is 7-1 in the UFC with notable victories over Andrei Arlovski, Serghei Spivac, and Alexander Volkov.
