Earlier this month Aspinall mentioned it has been “difficult mentally” ready to struggle Jones.
Aspinall has not fought since defending his interim belt in opposition to Curtis Blaydes in Manchester 11 months in the past.
Jones is broadly thought-about one in every of, if not the perfect, MMA fighter of all time and has an total report of 28 wins, one loss and one no-contest.
UFC 316, in the meantime, takes place on Saturday on the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey and is headlined by the rematch for the bantamweight title between Georgia’s Merab Dvalishvili and American Sean O’Malley.
The co-main occasion sees American Julianna Pena defend her bantamweight title in opposition to compatriot Kayla Harrison.
Elsewhere, former Bellator bantamweight champion Patchy Combine makes his UFC debut in opposition to fellow American Mario Bautista.
Combine left the PFL, who acquired Bellator in 2023, in Could after venting his frustrations alongside different athletes a few lack of fights within the organisation.
He follows former Bellator featherweight and light-weight champion Patricio Pitbull, who misplaced on his debut to Mexico’s Yair Rodriguez in April, to the UFC.
