Michael Bisping believes he has the ideal co-main event banger for Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall – one of the most alluring UFC fights in 2025.
HeavyweightMMA always catches public attention, especially during a showdown between the elite champions. Jones is one of the most, if not the most decorated fighter in MMA history, while Aspinall has applied the pre-fight pressure on Jones like no other.
While Jones-Aspinall is still being negotiated, UFC fans and pundits, including former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, ruminate on a potential mega-card that could accompany the biggest undisputed heavyweight title fight in many years.
Michael Bisping names Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira for the BMF belt as the co-main to Aspinall-Jones
Bisping believes a lightweightBMF rematch between titleholder Max Holloway and No. 2-ranked Charles Oliveira would be the perfect fight to accompany Jones-Aspinall on international fight week.
“I, for one, sign off on this [fight],” Bisping remarked on his YouTube channel. “I love Charles Oliveira; I love the fact that he wants to be active. And I love Max Holloway, he’s an absolute legend of the sport.
“This rematch, international fight week, put it as the co-main event to Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall. . . . Charles ‘Do Bronx’ taking on Max Holloway for the BMF belt. My God, this one will be an absolute blockbuster.”
Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway verbally agree to rematch
Oliveira highlighted interest in a BMF showdown with Holloway if lightweight champion Islam Makhachev is unavailable, courtesy of Championship Rounds on X.
Holloway replied to Oliveira, entertaining a fight during international fight week as Bisping suggested.
Holloway and Oliveira fought before in 2015, with Oliveira suffering an esophagus injury that called the fight off. Ten years later, the fight couldn’t be more alluring, with both men having fought for a UFC title in their last three performances.
