Tom Aspinall gives his take on every UFC 316 main card matchup in prediction spree

Tom Aspinall has predicted the UFC 316 main card. With a few hours left for the pay-per-view to commence, Aspinall's prediction may come in handy for fans who wish to place wagers at the last minute.

The main card has a total of five bouts across various weight classes, with two titles on the line.

Aspinall, in an interview with UFC on TNT Sports, first predicted the welterweight bout between Kevin Holland and Vicente Luque, and chose Holland as the winner. Next up, for the bantamweight bout between UFC debutant Patchy Mix and Mario Bautista, Aspinall chose Mix.

Coming to the middleweight bout between Joe Pyfer and Kelvin Gastelum, the 37-year-old picked Pyfer to win.

For the women's bantamweight title clash between champion Julianna Peña and Kayla Harrison, which serves as the UFC 316 co-main event, Aspinall chose Peña.

Lastly, for the main event, a rematch between bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and former champion Sean O'Malley, the Brit picked 'The Machine.'

Aspinall said:

"[Luque vs. Holland] I think Kevin Holland should win that one… [Bautista vs. Mix] I've seen Patchy Mix in the gym in Vegas, and I think he is very good. I'm gonna go Mix. [Gastelum vs. Pyfer] Joe Pyfer."

He added:

"[Peña vs. Harrison] That's a tough one, but I actually think Peña. [Dvalishvili vs. O'Malley] Another tough one, but I think Merab again."

Jon Jones not interested in fighting Tom Aspinall

Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall appears to be off the chart, with Jones hinting at potential retirement and asking Aspinall recently to find another opponent. Meanwhile, Aspinall has declared that Jones is retired and he has a date and venue for his next fight, which will be announced soon.

Recently, after news surfaced that Francis Ngannou is eyeing a UFC return, Jones took to X to show interest in a potential superfight with 'The Predator,' labeling it as "a clash of champions."

Jones wrote:

"I'm hearing Francis Ngannou is still interested… now we’re talking. That's a real super fight. A clash of champions, not just hype. He held the UFC belt, I've defended mine for over a decade. Two kings from different roads. Not just one legend facing a mouth that’s hot right now, but two real legacies colliding. That’s the kind of fight that actually adds something special to my story. 👑🔥 At least from my point of view."
