Jon Jones Fears Tom Aspinall – The Truth Behind Avoiding This Fight!

Tom Aspinall Claims Jon Jones Is Desperately Avoiding Him – But Deep Down, He Knows He’s the Real Threat!

Tom Aspinall: Jon Jones Secretly Wants to Fight Me

In a recent interview, Tom Aspinall shared his belief that Jon Jones is “secretly” eager for a fight with him, despite outwardly claiming otherwise. After Jones successfully defended his heavyweight title with a third-round stoppage over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, many expected a title unification bout with Aspinall. However, Jones has publicly rejected the idea, stating that he’s not interested in facing the interim champion. Aspinall, however, believes Jones is playing mind games and secretly wants the matchup.

Aspinall: Not in the Same Stratosphere as Stipe Miocic

Aspinall made it clear that he believes there is a significant difference between his current form at 31 years old and Miocic’s at 42. Aspinall praised Miocic as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time but emphasized that the two are on entirely different levels right now. He pointed out that Jones, who is known for his strategic thinking, fully understands the challenge Aspinall presents, adding that he’s much younger and more dangerous than Miocic, especially in their current forms.

Aspinall: Jones Can’t Stand the Thought of Losing to Me

Despite Jones’s repeated assertions that he isn’t interested in fighting Aspinall, the interim champion believes it’s all a facade. According to Aspinall, Jones’s ego is massive, and he hates the idea of people thinking someone like Aspinall could beat him. Aspinall argues that Jones can’t help but repeatedly deny any potential interest in him to defend his own self-image. Aspinall believes deep down, Jones knows he could be a serious threat, and the very thought of it “eats him up.”

The Mind Games: Aspinall’s Advantage Over Jones

Aspinall further explained that one of the key advantages Jones holds over his opponents is his ability to study tape and prepare meticulously for a fight. However, Aspinall believes Jones won’t have the same advantage when preparing for him. Aspinall’s average fight time in the UFC is the shortest at just 2 minutes and 10 seconds, with most of his fights ending in quick knockouts. The lack of extensive footage and the unknown elements in Aspinall’s fighting style will keep Jones up at night, as Aspinall is a massive question mark for the former champion.

The Potential Fight: A Game-Changer for Both Fighters

Should the fight between Jones and Aspinall eventually happen, Aspinall feels confident that his unpredictable and aggressive fighting style would give him the upper hand. He firmly believes that Jones, despite his accolades and experience, would struggle to prepare for him. Aspinall’s raw potential and sheer power in the octagon could prove to be the perfect storm to shake up the heavyweight division.
