It took Tom Aspinall one minute to flatten Curtis Blaydes in the co-main event of UFC 304 on Saturday night.
After the emphatic victory, the UFC interim heavyweight title holder didn't waste time setting his sights on Jon Jones, the promotion's heavyweight world champion and arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time.
"I just spoke to the boss man and who wants to see Tom Aspinall versus Jon Jones?" a victorious Aspinall told Daniel Cormier in the Octagon, live on pay-per-view.
"Hello Jon, I have nothing against you personally, but I just think I'm better than you," he continued. "I just know that I could beat you in a fight so I'm coming for it."
Since suffering a knee injury in July 2022, Aspinall has rattled off three straight wins — all by explosive knockouts — including the right hand and hammerfists that demolished Blaydes.
"I'm the best finisher in the UFC," Aspinall said. "If I smell blood, that's it. You're done."
Though he wants Jones next, Aspinall will have to first wait for "Bones" to defend his heavyweight world title against former two-time heavyweight world champion Stipe Miocic later this year.
