The highly anticipated UFC heavyweight showdown between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall might take place in Las Vegas, according to comments from Aspinall’s father and coach, Andy Aspinall.

Fans are eager to see the two top heavyweights face off, and the rivalry between them has been building. Aspinall, the interim heavyweight champion, has been pushing for the fight, and it seems like it’s edging closer to becoming a reality.

In an interview with Uncrowned, Andy Aspinall shared his thoughts on the fight’s location. “I think it will happen in [Las] Vegas,” he said. “It will happen in the place where they’ll make the most money, won’t it? That’s my opinion.”

He also suggested that Jon Jones might view his son as a serious challenge. “I think Jon doesn’t know if he wants the fight or not,” Andy said. “He wants to beat Tom, but he also doesn’t want to risk losing. He’s not afraid of anyone, but keeping his unbeaten record matters. It’ll likely come down to how much money is on the table.”

While UFC hasn’t confirmed the fight yet, this potential clash has fans buzzing about what could be one of the biggest matchups in heavyweight history. Source

Conor McGregor Faces New $8 Million Lawsuit Over Whiskey Deal

Image
Photo: Conor McGregor / Instagram   Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is headed back to court in January for a lawsuit involving his former friend and training partner, Artem Lobov. The case revolves around Proper 12 Irish Whiskey , a brand that helped McGregor become one of the wealthiest athletes in mixed martial arts. Lobov, a former UFC fighter, claims the idea for Proper 12 was his and says he spent years helping to build the business. He is now suing McGregor for $8 million, claiming he deserves a share of the profits. McGregor sold the whiskey brand in 2021 for an estimated $600 million, but Lobov says he didn’t get anything from the deal. Lobov told reporters he was the one who convinced McGregor to pursue Irish whiskey instead of vodka. “I did my research, met with distilleries, and put together a great deal,” Lobov said. He says he introduced McGregor and his management team to the contacts he had developed, believing they had an agreement. Photo: Conor McGregor / Instag...
