NEW YORK – Right now, two men hold gold in the UFC heavyweight division, but one of them isn’t in line for the next undisputed title shot. At UFC 295 , Tom Aspinall surprised many when he toppled towering Russian contender Sergei Pavlovich with a TKO stoppage in Round 1 that earned him the interim title. The fight was a last-minute replacement for the previously scheduled undisputed title fight between champion Jon Jones and former champion Stipe Miocic . Despite Aspinall’s thrilling performance on two weeks’ notice, UFC CEO Dana White said the promotion’s plans will revert back to the Point A, even though Jones is on the shelf as he recovers from a torn pectoral muscle. Aspinall (14-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) will have to wait.
