Tom Aspinall is bored with speaking a couple of struggle with Jon Jones.
Ever since Aspinall scored a 69-second KO over Sergei Pavlovich in November 2023 to say the interim heavyweight title, he’s been lobbying for a unification conflict with undisputed titleholder Jon Jones. 16 months later and we’re seemingly no nearer to seeing that struggle occur then we had been all the best way again at UFC 295.
And admittedly, Aspinall is getting bored with reply questions on it.
“I’ve had sufficient speaking about it, mate,” Aspinall informed Jamal Niaz. “I’m actually bored of it. We’ll see what occurs… I’m able to struggle at any time when they inform me, so simply let me know, and I’ll be there.”
If Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall Does Occur, it’ll possible be a part of this 12 months’s worldwide struggle week festivities
After getting injured, Jones would take greater than a 12 months to lastly make his first heavyweight title protection, although it wouldn’t come towards Aspinall. As a substitute, ‘Bones’ would meet former two-time titleholder Stipe Miocic in a struggle that was extra about legacy than UFC gold.
As anticipated, Jones made comparatively straightforward work of Miocic, scoring a third-round TKO at UFC 309.
Instantly after the struggle, all eyes turned to a struggle between Jones and Aspinall, however right here we’re properly into 2025 and no official announcement has been made. Dana White has remained adamant that ‘Bones’ can be again in motion this summer season, however Aspinall’s frustration is main many to consider that Jones is straight-up refusing to struggle him.
If Jones does in actual fact return this summer season, it’ll possible be at UFC 317 when the promotion celebrates its thirteenth annual Worldwide Battle Week in Las Vegas.
