Bookmakers have identified the favorite for the Jones-Aspinall fight

Legendary UFC heavyweight champion John Jones opened as favorite in a potential fight against Tom Aspinall, who spectacularly knocked out Sergei Pavlovich last weekend at the UFC 295 tournament and took the interim belt into his hands.

Currently, leading bookmakers estimate Jones' chances of winning at odds of 1.71. The same figure for Aspinall is 2.20.

Let us remember that Jones was supposed to headline the last show in New York, but at the final stage of the training camp he suffered a torn pectoral muscle and withdrew from the fight against Stipe Miocic. Later, promotion head Dana White announced that he plans to bring together eminent American veterans after John's full recovery, which, according to recent estimates, will take six to eight months.
