Aspinall ‘had enough’ of Jones: ‘I need to move on and do something else’

3 days ago | mmamania.com | Ryan Harkness

Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images Tom Aspinall is officially sick of sitting around and waiting for Jon Jones. Aspinall now holds the dubious record of longest serving interim champion in UFC history. He won the interim heavyweight title back in November 2023 and defended it in July 2024. With Jones now in Thailand filming a Russian reality show, it’s safe to say the two won’t be fighting in the next two to three months.

Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC After a controversial decision loss Aiemann Zahabi at UFC 315, Jose Aldo laid his gloves down in the octagon and declared he was most likely done with fighting. The UFC’s translator did a valiant job translating Aldo’s two minute retirement speech from Portuguese on air, but he didn’t quite capture everything the former two-time featherweight champion and legend said.

Photo by Georgiana Dallas/WWE via Getty Images Dana White usually has the last word when it comes to promotional decisions, but he’s having to make some accommodations for his Saudi business partners coming into a September boxing superfight between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford. Riyadh Season head Turki Alalshikh recently revealed that White would be taking the lead on promoting Crawford vs. Canelo, which is set for Friday, September 12th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC On Saturday night in Montreal, Jack Della Maddalena defied the odds and beat Belal Muhammad to become the first UFC champion from Perth, Australia. Now he’s looking to defend the belt in his hometown next. Della Maddalena was just too accurate with his striking and too effective with his grappling and head movement for Muhammad, who ended up a bloody mess by the end of their five round fight (watch the highlights here).

Getty Belal Muhammad took one helluva beating during his UFC 315 main event fight against Jack Della Maddalena last night (Sat., May 10, 2025) in Montreal (watch highlights). And while he ended up losing his belt to the scrappy Australian via unanimous decision, he didn’t let the accumulating injuries stop him from moving forward right to the final bell.

Photo by Hu Jingchen/Xinhua via Getty Images Valentina Shevchenko continues to rack up wins as the UFC women’s flyweight champion, and her latest victory against Manon Fiorot may have set up a champion vs. champion superfight next. Fiorot was a game challenger but just wasn’t slick enough to beat Shevchenko, who won their UFC 315 title fight 48-47 on all three judges’ scorecards.

Instagram Jon Jones is enjoying his time in Thailand as he coaches the Russian equivalent of The Ultimate Fighter ... maybe a little too much. Jones pulled another swerve on fight fans earlier this week when it was revealed that the UFC heavyweight champion would train a team on the Alf Reality MMA show opposite Nate Diaz. The two are now spending the next month in Thailand filming the show, which previously featured Aljamain Sterling and Petr Yan as coaches.

Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Islam Makhachev didn’t waste any time before commenting on the results of the UFC 315 main event between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. For months Team Makhachev has been waiting for May 10th to see who would leave Canada with the welterweight title around their waist. If Muhammad kept the belt, Makhachev would stay at lightweight. If Della Maddalena won, Islam planned on moving up.
Scorecards! Zahabi edges Aldo in aging legend’s UFC 315 retirement fight

Photo by Cooper Neill/Zuffa LLC Jose Aldo just announced his retirement from mixed martial arts in Montreal, and he’ll do it off a controversial loss to Aiemann Zahabi. Aldo and Zahabi went to war for three tough rounds. The first clearly went to Aldo. The third started with “Scarface” nearly getting the finish, only to find himself with three minutes to go and no gas left in the tank. Zahabi took him down and battered him with elbows, leading some to say he deserved a 10-8.
Overpaid fighters ruining boxing? ‘You gotta do it like the UFC does’

Photo by Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty Images Boxing has been on a bit of a hot streak lately with a number of amazing fights going down over the past two years. But this past weekend’s Fatal Fury double-header was a reminder that boxing doesn’t always deliver, and what it doesn’t it is pretty dreadful to watch. From Times Square to Riyadh, Fatal Fury fights from Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull, Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero, and Devin Haney vs.
