Aspinall: "I'm trying to hurt Jones' ego, and he's mad at me."

UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall explained why he won't stop publicly speaking out against full titleholder Jon Jones.

"I'm trying to hurt his ego and see if he can say, 'I'm actually the heavyweight boss and I'm going to show you that.' That's what I'm doing. I think John's a little bit mad at me. It'll be great if he keeps it up," Aspinall told TNT Sports.

As a reminder, Aspinall had his last fight in late July, knocking out Curtis Blades in the first round.
