MMA – Will we one day be able to see the duel that everyone is waiting for between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall? The champion responds.
Throughout the fight week from UFC 309 and even before, the shadow of Tom Aspinall (15-3) continued to hover over Jon Jones (28-1). Indeed, rather than Stipe Miocic, the fans demanded a duel against the Briton. Yet, Bones shows little appeal for a meeting against the interim heavyweight champion. Instead, the American seen as the GOAT from the UFC rather evokes a meeting against Alex Pereira. However, after his victory in the main event of UFC 309, Jones gave this duel a chance to see the light of day. However, the heavyweight champion continues to maintain that he will not fight Aspinall.

Everything for his legacy
On his X, Bones ignited a real storm by responding to criticism. “Sure, I'm a duck for next year. Tom will lose in the next two or three fights and my legacy will live on as the greatest MMA fighter of all time. End of story. » said the American. Aged 37, Jones is now focused solely on his record and his legacy and he makes no secret of it. « I'm incredibly rich, I've achieved all my goals in sports, I'm a Hall of Famer, I've broken numerous records. Being called a “duck” pays more than most Internet badasses will make in a lifetime. It's not about stooping, it's about winning. » he wrote. Finally, the legend continues to explain that he could give up his heavyweight belt and fight Pereira at light heavyweight. Do you think Jones is looking to protect his legacy or rather avoid a real challenge?
