Jon Jones Just isn’t Into Tom Aspinall

Tom isn’t the guy that intrigues Bones

There has never been a time throughout Jones career that he was so uninterested in fighting an opponent. You can put the scared of Tom comments away because Bones is willing to fight someone more established and scarier than him. That man is Francis Ngannou, Jon Jones recently tweeted how a fight between him and Ngannou intrigues him. Jones stated that this fight would actually add value to his legacy thanks to both fighters being the king of their divisions at one time.

“I’m a company guy and there’s a lot of things that’s happening behind the scenes where my job is just to sit and be still and take the punishment,” Jones said.

“My job for the UFC is to do what’s right for the company. I could easily just say I’m not fighting. My job is to chill and that’s what I’m doing.”

“I think I will fight again in the future,” Jones said. “I think I will fight again. Where the future of combat sports is going, it’s going to be amazing when I pop back up. But right now I’m just focused on so many other things like family, like building my house, like building this brand.”

Time is not on Aspinall’s side and it seems at this point that the desired match against Jones is not going to happen. But fighting for the UFC heavyweight championship can very well be on his radar in the very near future.
