Former UFC middleweight champion and current commentator and analyst Michael Bisping believes that refusing to fight with Aspinall could cause a serious blow to the heritage Jon Jones.
“If he beats Stipe and doesn’t fight Tom Aspinall, that’s another story that will live forever. People will say that he avoided Tom Aspinall because he was afraid of him. What he saw in Tom was a big guy, a real heavyweight who moved like a middleweight,” Bisping said.
