Yup and he's gonna face either of those guys at some point in the future anyway... It's just when he's back he'll skip Stipe Miocic. But the thing is at Jones' age, recovery and rehab after the surgery could take longer than anticipated. And even if he does return at the anticipated time, his knee could continue to bother him. He'll prolly have one or two more fights in him then call it quits.

I have my doubts if Jones will be eager to fight either Pavlovich or Aspinall. He was going after Stipe only because Stipe was considered to be the best heavyweight in terms of the most wins in title bouts. In the past he also mentioned that he was only after big money fights, and I'm not sure if a fight against Pavlo/Aspinall would sell that great.
I wouldn't be very surprised if Jones announced his retirement anytime soon. I hope that won't happen though.

Honestly still not that excited for Miocic. Not sure why... I mean he was a good heavyweight but never really considered him to be 'the best' even tho the record says he's the best. Dunno... I guess if we already had guys like Aspinall and Pav fighting back in the day, I think Miocic would just be a fringe top 5'er at best.
