UFC Heavyweight Champion John Jones assessed the likelihood of a duel with Tom Aspinall in future.

“There are a lot of young and great fighters in the division. These guys are destroying their opponents in the first round, but I have to look at it all as a business. Make decisions not out of pride, but from the point of view of heritage and business.

If hardcore fans know these guys, great. But in the end, I will have to fight fighters that the whole public is delighted with. When you're in my place, there will always be a challenge from a younger guy and everyone wants to see how I handle it.

Tom Aspinall has the potential to do something special. Most of our division will have a hard time beating him,” Jones said in an interview with the OverDogs Podcast.
