Tom Aspinall: Why He Now Agrees with Jon Jones’ Fight Decision

Everyone thought Jon Jones was avoiding a fight with Tom Aspinall. But now, the English interim champion sees things differently. Aspinall recently said Jones is just being smart about his career. After all, fighting Aspinall is risky for Jones, who’s got a lot more to lose. Aspinall admits Jones’ resume is better, so he understands why Jones wants more money for the big fight. Aspinall thinks Jones isn’t ducking him but is just being realistic about the stakes.

Meanwhile, the debate about Jones being the greatest MMA fighter ever is still on. Aspinall has his doubts because of Jones’ past drug test failures. He believes using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) is cheating and rules out Jones from being the greatest. Despite this, Aspinall respects Jones’ skills and just wants a shot at the title.
