Here are five UFC fights we’re craving: Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall open image in gallery Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall Let’s get the obvious one out of the way first: the consensus most-desired UFC fight in 2025. Khamzat Chimaev in a middleweight title fight open image in gallery Khamzat Chimaev is unbeaten and undeniable After Chimaev ran through former champion Robert Whittaker in October, fans decided they were willing to overlook the Russian’s relative lack of activity – and seeming inability to fight in the US – to see him in a title fight. Leon Edwards vs Ian Machado Garry open image in gallery Ian Machado Garry has a grudge to settle When The Independent reported in late 2023 that Machado Garry had been barred from training at Leon Edwards’s gym, appetite spiked for a clash between the pair. But Edwards is no longer champion, and Machado Garry recently lost a No 1 contender’s fight – on short notice, and by a relatively close decision.
