UFC: Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall – why Briton deserves undisputed heavyweight fight in numbers
While Aspinall doesn’t have the same multiple wins over former champions and Hall of Famers as Jones, he has defeated five of the top eight heavyweights.
Attack-wise, Aspinall primarily targets the head to utilize his formidable knockout power, while Jones seems to be mixing up his strikes more.
Any scrappy exchange between the two would be interesting. Aspinall’s spend rate on this UFC fight at 0.09% is at the bottom and the lowest in UFC history, while Jones ranks third from bottom at 0.19%.
Jones’ takedown defense is 95%, the second-highest takedown defense in UFC history.
Aspinall has 100% takedown defense, but the UFC only puts a fighter in the record books when he faces at least 20 takedowns – something Aspinall has yet to achieve.
