“Aspinall is on fire right now and he is a very, very good heavyweight. I don't see anyone beating Aspinall now. I understand why Tom wants to face Jon, it's because Jon is the greatest of all time and the top star in the UFC. Tom beating Jones would be bigger than winning any UFC belt. The greatest possible achievement in the UFC is winning Jon Jones. I understand why Aspinall is trying this fight. I think he's ready to Jon Jones”, said the Swede.
With two defeats under his belt against Jon Jones, one of them in a very close fight, Alexander Gustafson believe that Tom aspinall Get the weapons you need to become the first man to defeat the current heavyweight champion in the Octagon.
“Yes, I think Tom would be too much for Jon. He has all the weapons to defeat Jon. Jones hasn't been as active, but he's still the biggest of them all. You can never count this guy out. He dominated every opponent and everyone knows how good he is, but I see Aspinall too dangerous for him. He is dangerous on his feet, has great movement and is an intelligent fighter. He has the tools to do well against Jon and even beat him. If they are going to fight, now is Aspinall's time. He can establish himself as one of the greatest heavyweights in history,” he concluded.
