Tom Aspinall, interim UFC heavyweight champion, shared his impressions of his recent encounter with current UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Tom noted that Jones is not as big as he thought he was.

"I met Jon Jones for the first time. He's not as big as I thought he was at all. I thought he was much taller. When you're 5'4" and you've been a welterweight your whole career, you seem very tall.But I'm a real heavyweight, aren't I? He's nowhere near as big as me. So I think I'll beat him, definitely," Aspinall said on his Youtube channel.

Recall, earlier Aspinall said that he has no intention of sitting around waiting for a fight with Jones.
