Aspinall: "Jones knows that fighting me will be more difficult than fighting Miocic"

Tom Aspinall, the UFC's interim heavyweight champion, has spoken out again about a bout with the organization's division champion Jon Jones.

"Of course, Jon Jones is no fool. Although he can act like one sometimes. He's not stupid. Stipe is one of the best heavyweights, if not the best heavyweight of all time. Stipe is also 43 years old, he's after a three year layoff, and his last fight was lost by knockout. Obviously, he's going to want to take this fight sooner than he did with me because it's easier. Much easier. Much, much, much, much easier. He knows the fight with me is going to be more difficult for him," MMA Fighting quoted Aspinall as saying.
