UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has playfully noted UFC boss Dana White's change of stance over the pound-for-pound rankings.

Tom Aspinall isn’t a huge fan of pound-for-pound rankings, but he did enjoy the adjustment Dana White made to his personal list after UFC 311.

The interim heavyweight champion has been in hot pursuit of Jones, and perhaps more importantly his undisputed title, for the best part of two years. And despite his rival’s protestations, it seems that Dana White is going to deliver the clash in 2025.

Tom Aspinall reacts after Dana White changes his opinion on the Islam Makhachev and Jon Jones pound-for-pound debate

Makhachev is already the UFC’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, a decision UFC CEO Dana White lambasted. White has reiterated that UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones should be No. 1, but when asked if Makhachev’s willingness to fight anyone at anytime has changed his mind, he finally caved.

Tom Aspinall couldn't help but share his thoughts on Dana White switching from Jon Jones to Islam Makhachev, whom he believes is the No. 1 fighter.
