"I would be very surprised if Jon Jones ever signs a contract to fight me. I don't think it's going to happen. I'm very skeptical. Jon Jones is a smart guy. And if I were him, I would think, 'I can fight a 42-year-old fighter who's wrapping up his career and make five times as much money as I would for a fight with Tom.' I would definitely do that," Title Sports Network quoted Aspinall as saying.
As a reminder, Aspinall will fight Curtis Blades in the co-main event of UFC 304 on July 27 in Manchester, UK. As for Jones, he plans to share the octagon with Stipe Miocic in November.
