Jones vs. Aspinall
even though Jon Jones demonstrate a preference for a fight against Alex Poatán, the Brit believes that a heavyweight title unification between him and 'Bones' would be one of the biggest MMA fights of our time.
“This is potentially one of the biggest fights in MMA right now. If that doesn’t interest you, Jon Jones, so I don't know what else we can do. Everyone knows this is the fight to make. This is the fight the public wants. This is the fight the UFC wants, this is the fight the fans want, and this is the fight that has to happen now,” Aspinall concluded.
With the victory over Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones achieved a record of 28 wins and only one loss in his career. Despite Dana White's claims that 'Bones' will have to fight with Tom Aspinall, the American maintains the conviction that Alex Poatan is the ideal opponent to strengthen his legacy in sport.
