Tom Aspinall backs own ability ahead of potential UFC title with Jon Jones: ‘I’m confident I can beat him’

British heavyweight contender, Tom Aspinall insists that praise he has received recently from former middleweight champion and compatriot, Michael Bisping is now unfounded when it comes to his chances in a future fight with kingpin, Jon Jones – claiming he is confident in his own abilities to defeat the Endicott native.

Aspinall, who returned from a year’s hiatus at UFC London in the capital last month, headlined The O2 Arena card against Polish veteran, Marcin Tybura.

Turning in a spectacular first round win, Atherton native Aspinall landed a first round knockout win over the perennial division challenger, landing a slew of strikes to drop the latter.
