Jon Jones may not be afraid of Tom Aspinall, but he knows just how dangerous the Brit is.
It’s been 18 months since Aspinall scored a 69-second knockout of Sergei Pavlovich to claim the UFC interim heavyweight title. Since then, fight fans have been chomping at the bit to see him square off with reigning heavyweight king Jon Jones. Unfortunately, a year and a half later, we’re no closer to seeing that fight now than we were then.
Much of the blame for that has been laid at Jones’ feet, who has repeatedly been accused of ducking Aspinall for fear of tarnishing his own legacy as the undisputed GOAT of mixed martial arts.
