UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall might be making his return to the Octagon in the UK this year.
During a recent interview, UFC CEO Dana White said that the UFC would go to the UK in 2024 for a PPV and would likely feature Aspinall and Leon Edwards.

Aspinall reacted to rumors of potentially being on an UFC UK card later this year.
“I cannot confirm or deny because I will be getting told off, but I’m hearing strong rumours.
“I’m in talks right now with the UFC about what’s gonna happen, what’s gonna be the next step. Nothing that I can announce yet.”

After winning his championship belt back at UFC 295, Aspinall said he wanted to fight Jon Jones in Manchester.

White has already stated that Jones would be fighting Stipe Miocic whenever he returns from injury. It’s currently unclear who Aspinall would face off against if he returns.
