Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall explained why full titleholder Jones Jones would still agree to share the octagon with him.

"I think he secretly wants a fight with me as he has a huge ego. And why wouldn't he? He's one of the greatest fighters of all time. And he hates it when people say I have a chance to beat him. It keeps him up at night. He keeps saying over and over again that he doesn't care about me. But it's all projection. Deep down he knows he just needs to keep saying it to protect himself," MMA Fighting quoted Aspinall as saying.

Recall that Jones knocked out Stipe Miocic last weekend at UFC 309 in New York, USA.
