Tom Aspinall isn’t pulling any punches outside the octagon. He recently shared his candid thoughts on Jon Jones’ next fight. The interim heavyweight champ’s comments came after his impressive 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304. With that win, he solidified his position as a top contender in the division. However, instead of facing Aspinall, Jones is set to fight Stipe Miocic in November.

More than a decade later, women are cemented as superstars and equals on the UFC roster, but it all started with Rousey.
