Tom Aspinall: Jones Deserves More Money
© Wendell Cruz-Imagn ImagesThe long-running saga between Jon Jones and the UFC has taken another unexpected turn and this time, heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is defending the man many assumed would be his biggest rival.
Just days after UFC CEO Dana White dismissed the idea that Jones was ever negotiating for the June 14 White House card, Jones fired back publicly and requested his release from the UFC contract. But in a surprising twist, Aspinall came to Jones’ defense.
Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Aspinall questioned why the UFC wouldn’t pay Jones what he believes the legend deserves. “Why is the UFC not giving Jon the respect he deserves financially? That’s crazy to me.”
