Firas Zahabi had very high praise for UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall. Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is campaigning for a title-unification bout with heavyweight champ Jon Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC), but Tristar Gym head coach Zahabi doubts it happens.

Firas Zahabi predicts Tom Aspinall will hand Jon Jones his first loss, making for an exciting heavyweight showdown in the future.

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall is one of, if not the biggest fight the UFC can make in 2025. The consensus among fans is that Aspinall is unparalleled for speed, knockout power, and finishing instinct inside the UFC's heavyweight division.

Firas Zahabi, longtime coach of UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre, believes Tom Aspinall has surpassed Stipe Miocic as the greatest UFC heavyweight of all time.
