Former interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has something in the works.

The British fighter hasn’t been seen in the cage since a title defense in Manchester in July. In the co-main event of UFC 304, Tom Aspinall handed Curtis Blaydes a first-round knockout loss. Following the victory, the interim champion called out Jon Jones in his post-fight interview. However, his plea went unheard.

Instead, the UFC booked Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic for next month in New York City. As of now, Tom Aspinall is expected to serve as the backup fighter for the main event. Ahead of the contest, both ā€˜Bones’, and Miocic have teased that the heavyweight title fight will be their last. With that in mind, Aspinall is unsure if he’ll be needed for UFC 309.

However, Tom Aspinall also has something in the works. Appearing in a recent video posted to social media, the interim UFC heavyweight champion discussed his upcoming backup role. There, Aspinall admitted that he doesn’t believe he will be called upon next month to face Jon Jones or Stipe Miocic.

However, Tom Aspinall might be fighting someone soon. In the video, the British fighter stated that he’s working with the UFC on something big right now. While Aspinall can’t say what exactly is in the works, he hopes to let fans in on the secret soon. Until then, he’s keeping himself busy in training if he needs to step up.

ā€œYeah, I’m just training to be the backup fighter right now and getting myself fit.ā€ Tom Aspinall stated in the video, discussing his UFC 309 backup role. ā€œDo I think it’s going to happen? Probably not. But, I will be ready for if it does.ā€

He continued, ā€œWe’ve just spoke to the UFC, and we’ve got some plans in place. I can’t reveal it right now obviously, because it’s a secret. But there is big news coming, soon.ā€

There is going to be a cross promotion fight with Francis. Dana is confident Tom can beat him so he’s ready to end Francis’ legacy and bring back the legitimacy to the UFC heavyweight belt.

Assuming Francis doesn’t fumble the bag again amirite?

The guy Francis is fighting isn’t on his level. Shouldn’t be an issue.

you’re saying problema won’t be a problem? truth is anyone with a modicum of offensive wrestling is a problem for frankie.

I saw a quote from Aspinal. The guy Francis is fighting lost easily to one of Tom’s warm up guys.

Just like when he took Chuck to Japan?
