Jon Jones suffered an injury in training that will keep him sidelined for eight months and now Sergei Pavlovich will clash with Tom Aspinall to crown an interim heavyweight champion in the new UFC 295 co-main event.

This is a bummer, but Pavlovich vs Aspinall is a banger. I'd much rather see one of them vs. Jones than Stipe. I hope Stipe takes a winnable fight and rides off into the sunset.
I'm with you on that Jones vs Stipe was not nearly as exciting as Jones vs Pavlovich/Aspinall. This IMO is great for the division, not so much for Jones.
Now I'm just left wondering who fares better vs Jones, Pavlovich or Aspinall?
I'd say Pavlovich probably. He has ape limbs and fuck you power.
Both present very unique challenges for Jones though. I'm just not sure if Aspinall's wrestling is good for HW or good in general because there's just not much competition in that field
