Jones’ Old nemesis pegs Aspinall ‘future legend’

Former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson has some strong opinions on the UFC Interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall.

Jackson has a strong feeling that Aspinall will be around for years to come.

This week, Aspinall became the longest reigning interim champion in UFC history. It is a clear reminder that Jon ‘Bones’ Jones is still enroute to becoming the UFC’s undisputed heavyweight champion with just one title defense.

So much discourse has been had surround the highly anticipated fight between Jones and Aspinall since the beginning of the year.

Most notably, even former UFC champion and Jones nemesis ‘Rampage’ Jackson has named Aspinall one of the greats of UFC/MMA.

In a recent interview with James Lynch of Home of Fight, Jackson gave his thoughts on Aspinall.

“I think Tom Aspinall is a great champion, he’s a great fighter,” Jackson said. “I think that he’s gonna be a future legend in the sport and he’s gonna be around for a long time, as long as he stays away from the injury monster. I think he’s gonna be known as one of the greats,” Jackson said.

Fans are still hopeful that Jones vs. Aspinall will happen but later on in the year.
