Holder of the interim heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg.) in the UFC, Tom aspinall raised the tone of provocations against the linear champion, Jon Jones. The Brit used an ironic tone to criticize his rival's physique and suggested that he could end 'Bones' career without even having to face him in the octagon.
"We know that Jon Jones is a little overweight lately, the guy was sitting there with his fingers full of Cheetos, waiting for me to get knocked out so he could start tweeting about it. Since I won that fight, he's been completely quiet. I will retire Jon Jones without even having to fight him”, said Aspinall in an interview with 'Believe You Me'.
