Jon Jones compares in-fight injuries with Tom Aspinall in latest mocking jab at UFC star

Jon Jones compares his gruesome toe injury to Tom Aspinall’s poke

Finally booking a title defense against former two-time title challenger Chael Sonnen in a highly anticipated pairing in 2013, Jones would emerge victorious, albeit not unscathed.

Putting his undisputed light heavyweight crown on the line, Jones would blast through WEC veteran Sonnen with a timely first-round knockout win to defend his title; however, he can count himself fortunate to have not been stopped.

Speaking with Joe Rogan post-fight, Jones noticed he had fractured his big toe during the bout, actually turning it upside down in one of the most memorable post-fight Octagon interviews.

And on social media, the former dual-weight champion compared Aspinall’s eye poke incident to his gruesome foot injury, reposting a fan-made edit.

Often boasting about a moral victory, Sonnen and some fans claimed the Oregon native was likely seconds away from a TKO win of his own over Jones if the first round had ended, with the official and Octagon-side doctor likely waving the fight off.

Jon Jones is all in on Alex Pereira clash

Accused time and time again of hanging up his gloves earlier this summer in a bid to avoid a title outing against Aspinall, Jones has now voiced his desire to welcome a new threat at heavyweight in a stunning comeback.

Itching to fight former two-weight champion Alex Pereira, Jones was the subject of a bizarre callout from the Brazilian knockout ace this week, with the light heavyweight champion keen to make his heavyweight bow at next summer’s UFC White House event.
