Huge win for Aspinall, he proved beyond any doubt that he deserves that belt. He might be here for a long reign. I just hope that Jon Jones will not retire after fighting Stipe and will face Tom eventually.
To be fair, I expected Aspinall to try to take it to the ground, but instead, he did to Pavlo what Pavlo had done to everyone else, which is even better. It's not a coincidence that Tom holds the shortest average fight-time in UFC history.

As for Alex, I think that stoppage was a bit premature, the ref could give it an extra second or 2. But he did very well with those leg kicks and of course with that right-left counter. Prochazka did manage to catch him a few times and he was the more aggressive one though. I hope Jiri will bounce back.

That is a good question. Actually, depending on the age of Jon Jones after his recovery, a great fight for him will be next year, but it will depend on his condition if he is going to further take rehabilitation during his healing process. I likely doubt that Stipe Miocic could have a chance of beating Jon Jone or Tom Aspinall for sure, but we would likely be seeing the Stipe Miocic fight for sure. It is inevitable as long as Jon Jones wants that fight.

Without underestimating Miocic, but I think a fight between Jon Jones and Miocic will be unbalanced. Even though Jones is the GOAT in LHW and Miocic is the GOAT in HW, for me this is no longer a GOAT vs GOAT fight. Jones may still be in his prime, but the fact we should know is that Miocic is almost 42 years old and that is a very old age for a fighter at the highest level in MMA. His speed and reactions were no longer the same as before. Especially with the brutal knockout when fighting with Ngannou. So if the fight does happen I think it will only add to Jones' good record in the UFC before finally deciding to retire.

Let's just say that Stipe Miocic still has some backbone, but I totally agree with you, and we haven't seen Stipe Miocic fighting anymore or active inside the Octagon. I really think that his speed and reaction time are not there anymore. For sure, Jon Jones will likely just get into Stipe Miocic with just a breeze, unlike Tom Aspinall, who has proven that he has speed and fight IQ and has what it takes to be a champion. For me, I want Jon Jones to fight Tom Aspinall now that he is still in his prime.
