Michael Bisping believes Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall could be the biggest payday for both heavyweights

Michael Bisping recently weighed in on the title unification fight that Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall still have not completed. While many big names in the UFC say that interest in that fight seems to be diminishing, Bisping believes quite the opposite.

In a recent video on his YouTube channel, 'The Count' expressed his confidence that both Jones and Aspinall could be paid the biggest paychecks of their careers in this fight, saying:

"This will be the biggest heavyweight fight that the UFC has ever seen. [Jones] will probably get one of the biggest paydays the sport's ever seen... If it goes down in Madison Square Garden, which is what I always said it would because a fight of this magnitude needs an iconic venue, then everyone is going to get paid a sh*t tonne of money.

He added:

"And if Tom Aspinall can go through it, then he's gonna make the 'FU' money down the line. If he beats [Jones], becomes the undisputed champion of the world after this, every single fight is gonna just be bigger and bigger."
