His ability to return to the octagon after a lengthy absence and still perform at such a high level is impressive. It not only adds another title defense to his record but also reaffirms his dominance in the heavyweight division.

Jordan: Great question! Aspinall was present at UFC 309, and his confidence is evident; he believes that the UFC has significant plans for him moving forward. If Jones moves on to face another opponent, it creates an interesting scenario for Aspinall. He might find himself in a position to claim the undisputed heavyweight title if he can secure a fight with Jones or a high-profile contender.
