UFC: Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall – why Briton deserves undisputed heavyweight fight in numbers

Although Aspinall doesn’t hold victories over multiple former champions and hall-of-famers like Jones, he has beaten five of the top-eight ranked heavyweights.

When it comes to striking, Aspinall utilises his fearsome knockout power by largely targeting the head, while Jones appears to mix up his attacks more.

Any grappling exchanges between the pair would be fascinating. Aspinall spends 0.09% of this UFC fights in bottom position, the lowest in UFC history, while Jones is third lowest on the list at 0.19%.

Jones, at 95%, also has the second-highest takedown defence in UFC history.

Aspinall has a 100% takedown defence but the UFC only add it their record books when a fighter has faced a minimum of 20 takedowns – something Aspinall is yet to do.
