Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski commented on heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones' reluctance to fight interim champion Tom Aspinall.
"If you want to be considered the heavyweight champion and you want to claim that crown for yourself 100%, you can't help but fight Aspinall. I mean, he's the interim champion! Although John may not do it, his resume won't suffer from it. But if you want to be considered the absolute heavyweight champion, you have to fight Aspinall.
In that case, Jones' record will include a line on the best heavyweight of his time. Because it is Aspinall who is the most dangerous threat to him. This guy is as versatile as possible," Volkanovski said in a video on his YouTube channel.
As a reminder, Jones will defend his title against Stipe Miocic this weekend at UFC 309 in New York, USA.
