Since obtaining his interim title, Tom Aspinall has continued to call out the reigning heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. ‘Bones’ is fed up and makes him understand in a very harsh way.
He wants to unify the belts. Tom Aspinall has been ready since his coronation at UFC 295, but he still has to wait while Jon Jones recovers from his injuries.
Originally, ‘Bones’ was supposed to defend his belt for the first time against Stipe Miocic but after a torn pectoral tendon forced him to retire. The UFC decided to implement an interim belt, which was contested between Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich. The Englishman quickly destroyed his opponent with a big knockout to take the title.
The American organization maintained its position to reinstate Jones against Miocic despite the facts. A decision which annoys Aspinall and which manifests it on the networks:
@tomaspinall01 Waiting for Jon Jones like… 👴🏻🥱 @UFC #fypシ #ufc #viral #aspinall
Jon Jones dots the i’s
In the same way as the Briton, Jon Jones responds dryly on the networks: “Only four recognizable opponents, and already the King of England, that must be nice. Legendary stories will be told about you and your infamous calls. »
In another tweet, JJ responds sympathetically with the champion’s situation temp worker :
I mean, it doesn’t really work like that. I was a champion when I was 23 years old, you can’t show up at age 30 pretending like you’ve been chasing me your whole life. I have no clue who 90% of his résumé is, meanwhile, I’ve been highlighting UFC events my entire career. https://t.co/aJdJT8UpGm

Aspinall was quick to respond: “Jon, you are letting your ego run wild. I’m not downplaying your CV, it’s incredible. It’s much better than mine,” says Aspinall. “You are known as the best fighter of all time, and that is EXACTLY why I want to fight you. Surely you can understand it?”
The heavyweight champion is still not receptive to Aspinall’s calls and responded to the Briton’s video with a video that he deleted:
