British heavyweight UFC Tom Aspinall spoke about his desire to share the octagon with the division champion John Jones.
“I think I'm a great opponent for Jones. This is my dream fight. I'm young and fresh, I don't have such a big "mileage". I can do everything in the octagon at a good level. I am fast, strong and heavy. I am different from all previous rivals of Jones. I think he would meet something new in my face. And it seems to me that John understands this, ”MMA Junkie quotes Aspinall.
On July 23, Aspinall knocked out Marcin Tybura in the first round at UFC Fight Night 224 in London. For the British, this fight was the first after a forced one-year downtime.
