UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and interim champ Tom Aspinall had a surprise run-in at the Arnold Sport Festival on Saturday in Birmingham, England.

Both Jones and Aspinall made sponsorship appearances at the event. Aspinall approached Jones to wish him well and told the 36-year-old he "would love to" share the Octagon with him. Jones politely declined Aspinall's request to do a faceoff.

"Maybe one day," Jones said to the Brit about a potential fight.

Aspinall documented the encounter on his YouTube channel:
