Dominick Reyes, a former contender for the UFC light heavyweight championship belt, explained why the organization's current heavyweight champion John Jones won't fight with Tom Aspinall, the promotion's interim champion in this division.
“The fight with Tom is a risk for Jones. This is almost the same reason why John refused me a rematch. Too dangerous and too unprofitable. After all, Tom is a great fighter. He's like me, only heavyweight. He moves well, is fast, with excellent wrestling skills. This is a dangerous fight for Jones. And what can this fight bring him? Record a victory over one more champion? But Jones is a great fighter, so he wants to fight legends. That's why he chooses to fight Miocic — the greatest heavyweight..." Reyes said.
Let us remind you that Jon Jones was seriously injured while preparing for the fight with Miocic and was out for a long time.
