UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones' coach Brandon Gibson expressed that interim belt holder Tom Aspinall is not a serious challenge for his charge.

"John has had a great career as a heavyweight. There are still a lot of unknowns in John's game that could be beneficial to Aspinall. However, Tom himself also has gaps that are to our advantage. For example, how does Tom feel in a five-round fight? How does he look in the fifth round? In addition, there will be serious pressure on Tom to win quickly.

With that being said, Tom is not an opponent for him. We respect every opponent, but I think John has beaten more difficult fighters," - quotes Gibson Bloody Elbow.

Recall that on November 16 at UFC 309 Jones made the first defense of the title in the heavyweight division, knocking out Stipe Miocic.
