Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall has been a hot topic within the MMA community, but coach Firas Zahabi doesn't think the fight will happen.

Interim champ Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is hoping to get his title unification bout with Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC), who defended his title with a third-round TKO of Stipe Miocic in Saturday’s UFC 309 main event. Jones wants to be compensated handsomely for a potential Aspinall fight, and Johnson sees Aspinall as the man to beat him.

Aspinall earned the interim UFC heavyweight title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich last year at UFC 295. Jones was supposed to headline the card against Miocic before withdrawing due to injury, resulting in the last-second scramble to book the Aspinall vs. Pavlovich interim title bout.

Tom Aspinall gained confidence after watching Jon Jones retain his heavyweight title at UFC 309. Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) was in attendance for Jones' spinning back kick finish of Stipe Miocic in Saturday's main event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
