Jones: Everyone is considered a rising star until I beat them

UFC Heavyweight Champion John Jones responded to talk about Tom Aspinall there is a good chance of defeating him.

“Everyone is considered a rising star until I beat them. And then people wonder, "Well, who is this guy anyway?" Just a few months ago, Ghana was unanimously called the future of MMA. The best footwork, the fastest heavyweight we've seen in the octagon, the most athletic. And now everyone is asking: “Who the hell is he?” Jones wrote on social networks, but later deleted the message.

Recall that Jones will defend his title for the first time in a duel with Stipe Miocic. Their fight will headline UFC 295 on November 11 in New York.
