Jones reacts sharply to Aspinall's call to strip him of his title

Recently, interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall called on the promotion management only Jon Jones full title due to the fact that the American stands idle for a long time and does not defend his title. Today “Bons” decided to give a succinct and tough answer to the Briton.

“For 15 years, I had as much competition as anyone could offer me. While preparing to defend my belt, I suffered a serious injury that required surgery. This happened for the first time in my career.

Now, suddenly, newcomers have appeared who demand that I be stripped of my title. The guy has no victories over legends, no title defenses, but he is already trying to point Dana White out. Funny. In my 15-year career, I've seen so many guys who were supposed to be great, but it's always been Jon Jones. Never forget that,” Jones wrote in X.

Let us remind you that on November 12 at the UFC 295 tournament, Jones was supposed to defend his belt in the fight against Stipe Miocic, but he suffered a torn pectoral muscle and withdrew from the fight. His recovery is expected to take about eight months.
