Jake Paul revealed his opinion on Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall in the UFC fight, which is gaining much buzz for now. The two fighters, Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall are known to have a bitter relationship. While he is getting ready to defend his UFC heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic, interim champion Aspinall is still unsure why he isn’t getting a chance to fight Jon.

Jones Prefers to Fight with Miocic Amid Pay

In his view, the encounter with Stipe Miocic is a fight for a place in history. For him, it is an opportunity to earn his place in the history of UFC which is why he prefers this fight. However, some people think that Jones has elected to sidestep a potentially more competitive opponent in Aspinall who is considered by many as a prospect in the division.

Such is the speculation, but still, Jon Jones, due to his achievements and victories, remains the greatest fighter of all time, according to UFC president Dana White. Jones has not always had the best relationship with the organization. The main issue has been about pay. He has often revealed he isn’t paid enough, even though he’s known as one of the best fighters in the game.

Jake Paul’s Take on the Situation

Jake Paul, known for his outspoken opinions, has offered a solution to the money issues that have plagued Jon Jones’ career. Paul believes he isn’t avoiding Tom Aspinall but is simply waiting for the right financial offer; he stated ” He doesn’t dodge anyone. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Show him the money – that real money. Not that spin the narrative money. He versus Aspinall is massive as it hits two big PPV markets. A $25M guarantee plus PPV seems about right.” @JonnyBones

He said that the fight between Jon Jones and Aspinall is a PPV contender and should get a $25 million purse and PPV revenue. Over the years he has consistently and without fail accepted to fight some of the toughest opponents out there. It is a fact that Lennox was willing to fight anyone anywhere anytime. This is what he is known for. Nevertheless, the skeptics are still present, and who can blame them; are the fighting baffles the best counterparts for him to compete against?

What is Next for the Jon Jones vs Aspinall Clash

People look forward to scheduling a Jon Jones against Aspinall fight, but the chances are rapidly diminishing. His career is not eternal, and the longer the time between now and the fight, the slimmer the chances of the fight happening. Right now, he is expected to put pressure on Miocic as they get ready for the fight.

However, the fans may be treated to the showdown with Aspinall, another fight that may decide the destiny of both fighters. Still, the battle of who is better between Aspinall and Jon Jones will rage on regardless of the outcome but fans wish to see this match-up before Jones decides to retire.
